Boasting a near-global footprint, cutting-edge satellite communications technology can also provide a vital telecommunications link in the event of an emergency or disaster.

Orbiting at an altitude of about 780km, the Iridium constellation of 66 cross-linked satellites provides coverage of virtually every point on earth for mobile satellite telephone service. Because they uplink to satellites in relatively low earth orbit, the mobile Iridium handsets are not only more compact and lightweight than conventional mobile satcom terminals, but also deliver excellent voice quality with virtually no perceptible voice delay. Module-type data communications terminals are also available. For communications unrestricted by your overseas location, for a communication lifeline in the event of a domestic disaster, and for maritime communications, Iridium is your global link in diverse scenes.
