Iridium Sat Phone about $1200
PLB about $300

This looks like a nice remake on the original Iridium SD-66K Sat adapter that accepts either an AMPS or GSM 900MHz phone.

I would be interested in knowing:

1) How is power "reserved" or "guaranteed" for PLB operation?
2) Does the PLB functionality operate from a dedicated battery?
3) What is the run time when the PLB is active?
4) Is Sat communication available when the PLB is active?
