Iridium Certus^SM - Maritime

Iridium Certus is optimized for all aspects of shipboard operations from simple email to complex system management of onboard sensor systems. Iridium Certus also provides a superior backbone for crew welfare, messaging, and phone calls. Vessels with VSAT will want to round out their service with Iridium’s powerful hybrid solutions for areas where VSAT is challenged because of congestion, coverage or regulations.

Iridium Certus is an excellent choice for handling catch information, monitoring weather and communicating across fleets in any region of the world. Large catch processors with VSAT should look to augment their existing platforms with Iridium’s global coverage which extends far beyond existing VSAT footprints.

Platforms, rigs, and buoys will find excellent options in the Iridium Certus portfolio. Iridium’s high reliability network coupled with its robust L-Band means that both attended and autonomous assets are consistently connected and tied into the corporate network. Unattended sensors can easily realize always-on connections from anywhere on the planet.

Workboats depend heavily on reliable and consistent connectivity. Tugs, tows, supply vessels, crew transport and dredgers work in environments where other options often go dark because of congestion, regulation or blockage. Iridium’s unique crosslink architecture and intersatellite links allow Iridium to route traffic above the earth. This enables consistent bandwidth in harbors, near ports, on the high seas and at the edge of coverage for other networks.
