The Iridium Network

Iridium operates the world’s only truly global satellite network, made up of 66 low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites working together in a cross-linked mesh. Unlike geostationary systems that hover above the equator, Iridium’s satellites orbit the Earth from pole to pole, providing real-time coverage over every inch of the planet, including oceans, airways, and polar regions. This unique architecture ensures low-latency connections, greater reliability, and consistent service, even in places where other networks simply can’t reach. Whether you're on the move or stationed remotely, Iridium keeps you connected without relying on local infrastructure.
