Real Time. Mission Critical. Truly Global.
Delivering two-way communications on a remarkable scale, the Iridium 9603 module makes truly global IoT a reality. The Iridium 9603 delivers Iridium Short Burst Data through an extremely small form factor, designed especially to meet the needs of fixed, mobile, or battery-powered applications.
Our Smallest Module
One-fourth the volume and half the footprint of the Iridium 9602, the innovative Iridium 9603 module combines the global coverage of the Iridium satellite constellation with the low latency of Iridium Short Burst Data to provide highly reliable, truly global satellite communications.
- Small Form Factor
-
The smallest commercially available satellite module available, lightweight, low-power for unmatched integration flexibility
- Single Board Module
-
Integrate additional functions such as GPS, microprocessor-based logic control, digital and analog I/O, power supply, and antenna
- Single Header Connector
-
For power, on/off control, logical level asynchronous, UART control, and network availability
- Compliance
