Iridium® delivers secure, resilient positioning and timing solutions designed to protect national assets and ensure operational continuity.

Protect Assets, Communications & Security

Iridium delivers resilient, secure, and trusted position, navigation and timing (PNT) solutions tailored for government needs including national security and defense. From protecting critical assets and logistics to maintaining uninterrupted communications, Iridium PNT offers a resilient, proven alternative to GPS and GNSS.

How Iridium PNT Works


The Iridium PNT signal is broadcast from our crosslinked low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. That means continuous global coverage, even in GPS-challenged environments such as inside secure facilities, dense urban areas, and remote maritime regions.   

Complex beam patterns and signal authentication techniques harden against jamming and spoofing threats to provide reliable, secure PNT—whenever and wherever needed. 

Government Support for PNT Elevates Resilience

Governments play a key role in helping operations across all CI sectors adopt the responsible use of PNT. The policy directives and practical guidance they offer to PNT-dependent enterprises, both public and private alike, can help ensure maximum resilience.
