Your U.S. GOvernment SATCOM Family Plan

Unlimited Voice. Unlimited Narrowband Data. Unlimited Subscribers.

United States government departments and agencies can take immediate advantage of unlimited voice and narrowband data for an unlimited number of subscribers through a multi-year contract between Iridium and the United States Space Force. It works like a “family plan” for SATCOM and includes satellite phones, messaging devices, remote sensors, and more.

 

A Network Built For OpSec

All Iridium EMSS network traffic is routed in space to a secure U.S. government-owned and operated gateway. This means your mission-critical communications never touch the ground outside of the United States.
