Magellan microCOM-M global satellite telephone (Inmarsat-M), 1996.
"At less than 5 1/2 pounds the mircocom-m is the smallest and lightest Inmarsat-M terminal available, yet it is a powerful and versatile communications tool with worldwide capabilities. The microCom-M has been designed to work in conjunction with the Access TeleCard, making it the most advanced satellite telephone on the emarket. And we think you'll find that the new smart card technology makes the microCom-M the simplest satellite telephone to operate as well."
This phone originally would have had a carrying case, a telephone handset, a quick start guide, and a DC power cord with cigarette lighter adapter. Although none of these components are present, the Access Telecard and main owners manual are there.
