Key benefits
All you need
– Multiple high-quality voice lines, high-speed IP data and security services combined in a single terminal, Iridium Certus meets all your communication needs at sea.
Price with the best quality
– Iridium Certus combines low cost equipment and more advantageous communication time
– No lengthy contracts or expensive services you just don’t need.
Superior reliability
– The Iridium network operates as a fully meshed global network with high-speed cross-links designed to provide uniform coverage and transmission speed. In addition, the Iridium Certus antennas installed on boats do not contain moving parts that can wear out.
Global coverage
– The Iridium network features an overlay mesh architecture and provides uniform coverage throughout the world, even in extreme latitudes and polar regions.
Low latency
– As the Iridium satellites are in low earth orbit (800 km), the signals travel in 1/40 of the time compared to geostationary satellites (36,000 km), which allows connections always at low latency and at high speed.
Optimal signal transmission
– Low L-band signals are better able to penetrate clouds, fog, and rain, while the low-Earth orbit design of the Iridium network eliminates geostationary equatorial interference.
