Iridium RUDICS


  • Reliable multi-protocol, circuit-switched satellite data connectivity
  • Ideal for permanent installations that require consistent, scheduled data transfer
  • Scalable solutions for any industry

Fast, Reliable Direct IP Data Connection

RUDICS (Router-based Unrestricted Digital Internetworking Connectivity Solution) provides a direct IP connection over the Iridium® low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. By eliminating traditional steps like modem handshakes and protocol negotiations, RUDICS enables faster, more reliable global data transmission.

How Does Iridium RUDICS Work?

RUDICS delivers a scalable data solution through three distinct protocols, providing organizations with flexible options for their operational and technical infrastructure needs.
 

Standard

A basic, direct connection for data transfer between remote devices and the internet via our satellite network. It’s ideal for applications that require basic yet reliable connectivity, such as remote weather stations, agricultural sensors, and water level monitoring.

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

An extra layer of security and reliability, PPP creates a dedicated tunnel for data transmission, supporting features such as authentication and data compression. It’s great for applications that handle sensitive data, such as smart grid infrastructure management.

Multi-Link Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP)

By combining multiple satellite channels into one connection, MLPPP delivers greater speeds and reliability. It’s suited for large-scale agricultural operations, weather research stations, and other more advanced applications.

In the Indian Ocean, some islands affected by cyclones lack the resources to protect themselves against cyclones as they happen. Instead, they rely on the scientific community. With Iridium-powered data, scientists can more accurately model when and where cyclones will form, helping protect local populations and save lives.
