Product Description
The Iridium 9603 SBD Transceiver provides extremely reliable satellite communications, from pole to pole, by combining the worldwide coverage of the Iridium satellite network with the low latency of the Iridium SBD (Short Burst Data) Service. The 9603 is perfect for applications with tight space constraints, like monitoring, tracking, and alarm systems, and it’s very affordable. The Iridium 9603 transceiver broadens the worldwide Iridium user base by delivering two-way communications on an impressive scale.
