1 fully replaces the current constellation and updates the ground system with new features and capabilities retains 66 satellite leo architecture supported by 6 in orbit spares and 9.
Iridium satellite ka band.
With communications solutions ranging from satellite phones to broadband terminals iridium is trusted by more than a million mariners pilots humanitarians first responders and governments around the world.
The satellites have a launch mass of approximately 860kg and the spacecraft supports the integration of a hosted payload of up to 50kg in weight.
Only iridium offers truly global communications through a constellation of 66 crosslinked leo satellites.
Our pop s points of presence around the world are located at the edge of the satellite network s connection to the public internet.

Flexible voice and data plans.
Our custom network with specialized features is deployed globally as opposed to the competitions single point location.
Ka band 8 mbps to fixed transportable terminals.
The iridium next satellites connect to mobile and iridium openport terminals through l band at data speeds of up to 128kbit s and 1 5mbit s respectively while a high speed ka band service at up to 8mbit s will be available for larger fixed and transportable terminals.
The iridium openport broadband service offers a wide range of customizable voice and data plans allowing you to choose what best suits.
