Seamless Data Flow

Devices send and receive messages through AWS without a custom integration to our Iridium Short Burst Data^® (SBD^®) gateway.

Secure Transfer

Data moves through private carrier networks and a dedicated connection between Iridium and AWS - not over the public internet.

Simple Setup

Using cross-account authentication and a lightweight script, customers can stand up the infrastructure quickly.

Standardized Delivery

Device data arrives in JSON format via Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) queues, stored in the customer’s own AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
