Iridium Communications Inc. is a satellite communications company that offers truly global
voice and data communications coverage. Iridium is advancing the way global enterprises
conduct daily mission-critical activities through reliable, near real-time, communications
services.
Iridium's 66 low-Earth orbiting (LEO) cross-linked satellites – the world's largest commercial
constellation – operate as a fully meshed network that is supported by multiple in-orbit
spares.
Iridium solutions are ideally suited for industries such as maritime, aviation,
government/military, emergency/humanitarian services, mining, forestry, oil and gas, heavy
equipment, transportation and utilities.
Iridium satellite phones and terminals need line-of-sight to open sky in order to function.
Units will not work consistently indoors, or under forest cover.
