Benefits of Iridium’s Low-Earth Orbit Network
Iridium Edge® inherits the many benefits of Iridium’s Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) network.
- 100 percent truly global coverage from pole-to-pole
- Provides a stronger, more robust satellite signal compared to GEO constellations
- Shorter transmission path of LEO network results in lower latency and shorter registration time
- Greater flexibility in installation
- Improved line of sight over GEO systems in compromised locations or behind large obstructions
- Overlapping satellite coverage and crosslinks provide redundancy and increased reliability
