Iridium is a line-of-sight Satellite network. Conditions that can compromise
the quality of the service you may receive include:
1. Obstructions:
Provide the best satellite view for your antenna by
removing all obstructions where possible
2. Cabling:
Use the shortest cable length and the fewest number of
connectors on all Iridium certified antenna cable runs
3. RF Interference:
Install antenna as far away from other transmitters as
possible.
