Why are Iridium SatPhones perfect for use in harsh environments?

Iridium extreme 9575 (LEO SatPhone)

Because not only are they custom made to be reliable from the ground up, but in addition Iridium Satellite Phones are made to be rugged, rough and ready within the harshest of environments

They are fundamentally equipped with a variety of features such as text messaging, voice calling GPS tracking, and made to be easy to use, with simple controls and intuitive menus

This means that where traditional cellular networks are not available, Iridium SatPhones will take over by keeping your line of communication open when you need it the most. Perfect for adventurers, travellers and anyone who must stay connected in remote locations.

What is the History of the Iridium Satellite network? Motorola In 1997 launched the very first low earth orbit (LEO) satellite network, to supply handheld Satellite communication services (voice and Data) anywhere in the world.

They called this constellation system of Satellites Iridium; they crisscross the globe on a continual basis at around 17,000 miles (27,359 kilometer) per hour.

Iridium Satellite Phones can communicate through this infrastructure with any phone, anywhere, including adequate coverage of the North and South Pole.

All Iridium Satellite Phones - Advantages

One of the main advantages of Iridium is that even when an iridium Satellite phone is in a canyon or blocked by mountain ranges, can still obtain signal as the Satellites fly overhead at different intervals and angles.

Suffice to say that it‘s the only Satellite network that works at the North and South Poles. Iridium SatPhones will function with the antennas retracted, but reliability and coverage will suffer slightly.

Iridium handsets are small, and are in their fourth generation design. The 9555 (last generation) is probably iridium’s best Satellite handset, however they have introduced the 9575 Extreme with enhanced options- WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities for data and remote headsets.

What is the main advantage of Iridium Satellite Phones

So the main advantage of the Iridium LEO system is the Satellites' close proximity to the ground, which enables them to communicate with minimal time delay in terms of latency. So for you, in remote areas, this constellation is ideal for services that are delay sensitive such as voice communication and GPS coordination.

Iridium accommodate different price entry brackets, this means they are designed to be affordable and available in a variety of price points.  This makes Iridium SatPhones accessible to a wide range of users who need to stay connected in remote areas

How ever one must take note of the way the constellation works, as Iridium can have minor coverage problems, due to your location on the earth’s surface and that of the closest Satellite.

Iridium Coverage Map - Its Everywhere

Iridium is a constellation of 66 low earth orbit communication satellites that crisscross the globe and is the only Satellite Phone network that covers the whole planet, including the poles. Great Advantage for scientists, researchers and explorers who work in these regions

Iridium SatPhones are for those that travel to remote areas, such as the jungle or desert. Useful to users that need to stay connected even in the most remote locations, where traditional cellular networks are unavailable or unreliable

Iridium Satellite Phones provide life saving features that make them attractive to travellers, such as being equipped with SOS buttons, giving users the ability to quickly send out an emergency signal if they are in clear and present danger

The Red Button

Location history of the SatPhones can be tracked; SOS panic alert buttons are present and can even send GPS coordinates.
