Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone

The Iridium 9555 is a compact and dependable satellite phone designed for voice communication in locations where conventional mobile networks are unavailable or unreliable.

Using the Iridium satellite network, the handset provides genuinely global coverage, including remote land areas, open oceans and polar regions. This makes it a practical communication solution for expeditions, maritime operations, remote workers, emergency planning and international travel.

Reliable Communication Beyond Mobile Coverage

The Iridium 9555 allows users to make and receive calls and exchange SMS messages from almost anywhere on Earth. It is particularly valuable for people travelling or working in areas where terrestrial infrastructure cannot be relied upon.

Its familiar mobile-phone-style layout makes everyday operation straightforward, while the retractable antenna allows the handset to remain compact when packed or carried.

Built for Remote and Demanding Environments

Designed with durability and portability in mind, the Iridium 9555 is easy to include in an expedition pack, emergency kit, vessel inventory or field communications setup.

The handset can be used as a standalone satellite phone or integrated with compatible docking stations, external antennas and hands-free accessories for use in vehicles, buildings and marine environments.

A Proven Satellite Communication Solution

The Iridium 9555 is well suited to organisations and individuals who prioritise dependable voice communication over advanced smartphone-style functionality. Its straightforward design makes it a trusted choice for emergency preparedness, remote operations and situations where making a reliable call is more important than accessing high-speed data.

For the best connection, the handset should be used outdoors with the antenna extended and a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.

How can a vessel owner be sure Iridium equipment satisfies regulatory requirements?

Iridium has obtained Recognition from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and a Letter of Compliance from IMO's regulator, the International Mobile Satellite Organization (IMSO). As always, vessel owners are ultimately responsible for working with their flag administration and Port State Authorities on all compliance questions.
