Iridium Satellite Network
RedPort Aurora uses the Iridium satellite network. The Iridium satellite network is
comprised of 66 Low-Earth Orbiting (LEO), cross-linked satellites, providing voice and
data coverage over Earth’s entire surface. The satellites operate in six orbital planes, 781
kilometers (485 miles) from Earth. This ensures that every region on the globe is covered
by at least one satellite at all times. Each satellite is cross-linked to four other satellites;
two satellites in the same orbital plane and two in an adjacent plane. RedPort
recommends the use of Pivotel Iridium airtime service. Pivotel Iridium service plans can
be found at pivotel.com.
