The Iridium satellite constellation consists of 66 global cross-linked Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites that provide high-quality voice and data connections. Their coverage spans the planet’s entire surface including all airways and polar regions.
Part of the Iridium satellite offering is the Iridium Certus and Iridium OpenPort antenna that provides an advanced communications platform using L-Band for maritime, aviation, and land solutions. Iridium guarantees critical connectivity regardless of any location, terrain, or weather condition. The Iridium GO for marine and land use is a cost-effective alternative for less intense communication requirements.
Iridium Certus
Iridium Certus is a superior mobile broadband service offering reliable, high-speed access using L-Band that facilitates connectivity from anywhere over land and sea.
Iridium Certus antennas are manufactured by Iridium, Cobham, Thales and Intellian that were specifically designed as maritime terminals. These units operate with the Iridium Certus service for seamless 24/7 connectivity. These robust and reliable antennas are low maintenance, lightweight and promise easy installation to get you connected without any hassle.
Cobham
The Cobham Sailor 4300 terminal is a high-performance terminal to access the Iridium Certus service. With guaranteed reliability and connectivity to the Iridium network, you’ll always have peace of mind for safe and smart satellite Internet access using high bandwidth IP connectivity and voice connections from anywhere in the world. The Cobham Sailor is available in bulkhead and 19” rack-mount configuration for data intense applications such as videoconferencing, the Internet of Things, as well as regular email and Internet applications.
Thales
