The Iridium Advantage
When you buy an Iridium OpenPort solution, you have the confidence of knowing you’re partnering with a global leader in mobile satellite communications.
Iridium's mobile voice and data solutions, for a wide variety of industries, are supported by the only truly global communications network, with coverage of the entire Earth, including oceans, airways and polar regions. Iridium delivers reliable, near real-time, mission-critical communications services and creates the vital lines of communication that help improve lives, build businesses, and develop new opportunities.
Iridium's constellation—the world's largest commercial satellite constellation—consists of 66 low-earth orbiting (LEO), cross-linked satellites operating as a fully meshed network and supported by multiple in-orbit spares. The Iridium constellation architecture ensures high reliability and low-latency.
Iridium is constantly finding new ways to expand the possible, including our next-generation constellation, Iridium NEXT, which will bring enhanced and entirely new services and capabilities to our customers. Iridium NEXT is anticipated to begin launching in 2014.
