Iridium Network Overview
The Iridium network is largest commercial satellite network in the world and the only network that offers true global communications coverage over 100% of the planet. Uniquely, Iridium satellite coverage map spans Earth’s polar regions and every inch of land, sea or sky in between.
Reliable, seamless voice and data coverage everywhere is a compelling advantage of the Iridium communications network, but there’s more. Iridium’s low-earth orbiting (LEO) network advantage also enables the use of smaller omni-directional antennas, resulting in devices with a compact, lightweight and streamlined form factor and shorter network registration times. In a nutshell, Iridium is a great choice for anyone that wants to have access to satellite voice and data anywhere on earth, or wants to be able to use their satellite phone while moving around.
The Iridium constellation consists of 75 satellites (66 operational and 9 in-orbit spares) that are cross-linked in space just 780 kilometers above Earth. Because Iridium is the largest constellation, and orbits closer to earth than other networks, Iridium users enjoy worldwide access to phone, text, or data services with shorter network registration times and low communications latency. The large number of cross-linked Iridium satellites also makes it easier to maintain a connection while walking-and-talking on your satellite phone, while a variety of external antenna and docking stations can be used to extend the utility of Iridium devices for use in a building, vehicle, small plane or on a vessel.
Does the Iridium Network Cover the Entire Planet?
With a constellation consisting of 66 low-earth orbiting (LEO) satellites, cross-linked to operate as a fully
meshed network, several overlapping satellites ensure coverage over the entire globe.
With Iridium there are no coverage gaps and an independent study found that Iridium satellite phone call
quality and call completion rates are superior to its competition. This is one of the reasons that the US
Military uses Iridium communications network.
Traveller’s Note: Although Iridium’s coverage is global, Iridium complies with U.S. embargo restrictions.
As such it is prohibited from providing products/service in the following countries: Taliban controlled Afghanistan,
China, Cuba, India, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Sudan. Each country is different and regulations may change
without notice. Always check with the local Consulate or Customs offices for info.
