What is the IRIDIUM?

Iridium is the world's largest commercial satellite network. It boasts 66 low-Earth orbiting satellites and 14 spares, ensuring global coverage 24/7. This network is your lifeline, bridging communication gaps where others fail.


Key Benefits:

Global Coverage: Iridium reaches every corner of the world, including remote locations.

Low Latency: It's quick—responses in just 5 to 20 seconds, perfect for real-time data.

Efficient Data Handling: Iridium smoothly manages short burst data like sensor readings.

Rock-Solid Reliability: Count on it for voice and data, no matter where you are.


How It Works:

Imagine your fleet vehicle equipped with an Iridium Subscriber Unit. When you send data, it hops from satellite to satellite until reaching the right one overhead. Then, it zips back to Earth. Gateways on the ground help make this magic happen.


Fun Facts:

  • Satellites orbit at 780 km altitude.

  • Each does a lap around Earth every 100 minutes.

  • They cross the sky in just 10 minutes.

  • Iridium uses L-band frequencies (1616-1626.5 MHz).
