Iridium is a low Earth-orbiting system, offering wireless telephone service at a fraction of the cost of other systems. Reaching waters no one else can, Iridium’s global network reaches far beyond the limits of traditional maritime communications to support all your daily activities at sea.
Classic Iridium services are available via both handheld and fixed-mountable phones.
Iridium provides you with voice, low speed data and paging services from any point on the globe, including oceans, airways and Polar Regions through its constellation of 66 low earth orbit satellites. It is a popular service in the maritime world, allowing crew calling on board in connection with the purchase of prepaid cards.
