Keeping your sat phone powered up at all times is crucial, so if you need accessories like the Iridium 9555 high capacity battery or compatible travel charger, Canada Satellite’s Iridium range offers it all. A satellite phone is a lifesaver when traveling to remote areas and having backup power means you’re prepared for any situation.
For a few extra dollars, having spares like the Iridium Extreme battery for your Iridium Extreme phone can save you a lot of hassle and money later. You could own the most expensive, high-end sat phone but if it runs out of power, it’s inoperable and useless leaving you stranded.
As a leading satellite provider, Iridium manufactures handsets and accessories for you to stay connected using the network of 66 cross-linked low orbit satellites around the globe that provide pole-to-pole coverage.
