Introduction to Iridium
Iridium is the only satellite communications company that provides a truly global connection. Whether it be connecting via remote land areas, air, across oceans, and even the polar regions, Iridium is the most far-reaching satellite communications service available.
How is it that Iridium can be so powerful and provide this kind of unmatched connectivity? Through a global constellation of 66 cross-linked Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, high-quality voice and data connectivity is possible pole-to-pole. The LEO satellites allow for a shorter transmission path and lower latency with stronger signals. In short, it’s everything you ever hoped for in remote connectivity.
Iridium understands the need for a reliable network, anytime and anywhere.* Today, voice and data communication is a lifeline – both as a connection we value when family members are far away, or quite literally the critical connection we rely on in matters of life and death.
As of 2019, the Iridium network became even stronger with the rollout of Iridium Certus.
Iridium Certus
The newly architectured Iridium Certus will bring you whatever you require in functionality without compromising speed. Satellite communications have been upgraded to one multi-faceted platform with the highest throughput L-band data connection available. With Iridium Certus comes fast, reliable, unparalleled global connectivity. You can expect:
- streaming data
- high-quality voice service
- data broadcast
- safety services
Allowing individuals, mega-sized operations, (and everything in between) to communicate and run their global business from afar, Iridium offers this all at a superior value. Whether your needs involve short burst data, openport, voice, or a specific maritime solution, the following products will connect you through the most reliable mobile satellite communications network in the world – Iridium.
Short Burst Data (SBD)
Simplicity and efficiency is what you will get with Iridium’s short burst data options. The short burst data service of Iridium sends and receives short voice and data messages between field equipment and a central host computing system. Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity, as well as Telemetry and Tracking applications, run smoothly through a complete SBD architectured system with an Iridium subscriber unit or transceiver such as the 9522B Transceiver.
OpenPort Broadband
Look no further for greater reliability and stronger throughput than the affordable Iridium Broadband solution. This OpenPort service provides the communication capability to quickly send and receive email, browse the web and make high-quality voice calls. Does your vessel require a reliable VSAT back-up solution? Iridium’s OpenPort products, such as the Iridium Pilot Marine Terminal, allow for this critical connectivity. Easily installed, it can perform all functions in any weather conditions and anywhere on the planet.
