Hardware:
Powered by a uniquely sophisticated global constellation of 66 cross-linked Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, the Iridium® network provides high-quality voice and data connections over the planet’s entire surface, including across oceans, airways and polar regions.
The unique architecture of the Iridium constellation provides inherent advantages in performance and reliability over other mobile satellite service providers.
Iridium’s network provides truly global coverage, from pole-to-pole and at any altitude, and minimizes line-of-sight issues
Iridium’s 66 cross-linked satellites with multiple overlapping spot beams provide reliable communications anywhere in the world
IP data speeds up to 22 Kbps transmit and 88 Kbps receive (based on existing technology; capable of supporting speeds up to 88 Kbps transmit / 88 Kbps receive)
Up to three (2) simultaneous high-quality voice lines
Iridium’s L-band frequency is resilient to adverse weather
Iridium LEO constellation provides a shorter transmission path with less signal attenuation than GEO, resulting in faster connections
