Iridium is the only Satellite network to be global, that is to say that any part on Earth is covered, including the Poles. The new Iridium NEXT network is constituted of 66 satellites in low orbits transmiting your calls.
The constellation Iridium NEXT working for commercial access since early 2019 improve and increase performance of the older. The 66 new satellites in low earth orbit at 780 km converging to poles at 27 000 km/h, bring a worldwide coverage.
Iridium’s satellites pass communication on ground station which operate the network. They take approximately 9 minutes to cross horizon.
Iridium enable you to communicate all over the world by voice communication and now to connect you to Internet in broadband : new opportunities for you onshore and off shore : private individual, enterprises, maritime, Iridium count 1.3 million of subscribers in the world. Territorial constraints can apply, don’t forget to ask us to check conditions.
For maritime market:
security & reliability
For terrestrial market:
portability & high speed broadband

At low speed, an offer with monthly subscriptions (postpaid) or prepay cards with a validity. Likewise, very compact core modules to integrate in solutions to transmit informations from sensors, have a specific service called Short Burst Data (SBD) for very small quantity of data.
More recently, onshore and off shore, Iridium CERTUS services allow for new terminals a connection to Internet with a throughput up to 704 Kbits/s and 1.4 Mbit/s in late 2020 – early 2021 when new terminals will be compatible with GMDSS. To improve its voice communication service, the offer enhance of 3 simultaneous voice lines.
Iridium CERTUS assure also in the Internet of Things (IoT) sector, by offer core modules for developer with specific interface and improve capacity thanks to throughput the new constellation enable.
In all situations, even the most unlikely ones, the Iridium’s network ensure you reliability and exhaustiveness to reassure you, keep you in touch with your close relations and keep up your adventures.
Iridium’s handheld solutions are terminals built to resist to the harshest environnements : rain, wind, sand, the Iridium 9575 EXTREME prove to be the most robust.
All terminals can be use indoor : a docking station link by a cable to a passive or active external antenna. A solution optimized to be in a office, a crisis centre or at the level of the chart table of your vessel.
In fixed on a vessel or in a building, the LT-3100 ensure the continuity of you activities on case of crisis or breakdown of the usual communication network. Maritime version of this terminal is GMDSS. This terminal replace the SC-4000, not built anymore.
Access to Iridium Certus services pass through appropriate terminals : onshore, the portable MissionLink made by THALES can be installed like a fixed solution, on the roof of a vehicle or can be carry in a bag. Off shore, maritime versions made by THALES and COBHAM suit to the environment : antenna is very compact, its size and weight are downsized and antenna is without mechanical elements. These terminals can be integrated like main communication system for the captain and/or the crew, or in backup of other solutions (VSAT).
Onshore or off shore, Iridium CERTUS subscriptions are communications plans with a monthly allowance including MB or GB and a minimum period commitment : competitive rate plans to be more cost effective, the offer evolve with commercialization of new services.
Iridium GO ! is an HotSpot solution. It allows you to connect your smartphone (IOS & Androïd) or you tablet computer thanks to an ultra compact and ruggedized terminal, with that you can have phone calls or sent and receive mails from a dedicated e-mail adress. The small sized terminal have a retractable small antenna.
Iridium GO ! Almost make you forget that you communicate by satellites !

Iridium PTT is an Iridium 9575 EXTREME terminal that allows Push To Talk (PTT) communication mode and to create a private network of user called Talkgroup that communicate between each other by satellites in a geographical area. This area, can be created from a web interface. Following this, terminals are identified and associated in the defined area, then they can benefit of unlimited communication during a minimum period commitment of three months. To communicate outside of the Talkgroup you just need to add a SIM card in the terminal. This solution is very easy to set and use for operations on the field with multiple workers, without having to set up a traditional network, ask for frequencies to regulatory authorities and then ensure maintenance.
