Iridium^® Network

Iridium knows no borders.

Iridium has the largest commercial satellite constellation in the world and delivers reliable, secure, real-time, mission-critical communications services to and from areas where landlines and terrestrial-based wireless services are either unavailable or unreliable.

In fact, the Iridium network provides the only truly global satellite voice and data solutions on the planet. That’s global coverage from the North Pole to the South Pole including oceans and airways.

The Iridium constellation consists of 66 low-earth orbiting (LEO), cross-linked satellites operating as a fully meshed network. Several overlapping satellites ensure the entire globe is covered. Unparalleled coverage, low latency, the highest level of reliability, redundancy and network availability is why the U.S. military relies on the Iridium network.
