Why Use XGate?

XGate satellite phone email is the easy way to access email while on the water or in remote locations. XGate is simply the fastest , easiest and most reliable satellite phone email available , saving you time, money and frustration.
Save time and money - 95% average data savings
Without XGate, satellite communication has a lot of hurdles: uncompressed email or web-browsing over slow data speeds means long wait times and expensive airtime bills.
Dedicated Apps - or your own Email clients
Use the popular XGate App for Mac, Windows, IOS or Android - or add your XGate account to your existing email client like Apple Mail or Microsoft Outlook.
The Satellite Email Standard
XGate has been the world's most-widely used satellite email service for over 15 years, with innovative new features and services for satphone users. When you're in satellite coverage areas, you need a proven service you can trust. XGate is that service.
Works with RedPort Optimizer
XGate and Optimizer work hand-in-hand to solve all these problems and deliver the perfect suite of satellite communications. It's the easy way to access satellite email, chat services like WhatsApp, and/or manage your onboard network.

XGate Features
It’s easy to get started with XGate. Once it’s up and running, you can read and write your emails offline, saving airtime, then simply press a button – XGate will dial your satellite phone for you and hang up when it’s done. If your call drops, XGate can redial and simply pick up where it left off. And only XGate eliminates the back and forth of email protocols before using precious airtime.
Faster. Cheaper. Better.
XGate uses only 5% of the data of a standard email program, on average. That means you save up to 95% on satellite airtime costs compared to using your email without XGate.
Your Email, Your Way
XGate lets you use either an included XGate address or your own familiar email address and client (such as Outlook or Apple Mail). There are even options to set the send and receive addresses so others see whatever email address you would like to show them.
Virus Scanning and Spam Filters
XGate servers scan every message for viruses and SPAM, blocking them before they go over your satellite system, saving you airtime and keeping your machine clean. XGate also has full DES/PGP encryption for optimum security.
“BigMail”
XGate “Bigmail” lets you know when someone sends you a large file, shows you the subject and size, and lets you decide to download it over your satellite connection or wait until you have access to another connection. You get the files you need when you need them, and save the cat videos for later.
XGate Speaks Your Language
More than 22 languages available.
Satellite SMS Notification
XGate offers satellite SMS notification of new emails via Iridium or Globalstar phones.
