Iridium Satellite Messenger Advantages

They’re Reliable

Our network uses L-band satellite spectrum–giving end users a weather-resilient experience, which is invaluable for the outdoor, extreme sports, and adventure traveler communities. Additionally, the network is located in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), delivering a low-latency (or minimal delay) two-way communications experience.

They Have Unmatched Coverage

Every Iridium^® satellite is connected to its neighbors by crosslinks, creating a coverage web around the entire planet. Iridium remains the only satellite network that offers truly global coverage.

They Have Extended Battery Life

The devices below can hold a charge for long stretches of time–with many providing hundreds of hours per charge.

They’re Lower Cost

Since Iridium satellite messengers are small, lightweight, and have comparatively low power requirements, they are often more cost-effective than competing products with bigger antennas and greater power needs. There are also customized subscription plans available based on data needs to help manage budgets without having to sacrifice service quality.
