Thanks to its voice, data, SMS and GPS tracking capabilities, the Iridium Extreme® Satellite Phone can be used anywhere in the world. Not only this, but the Extreme® offers fully integrated customizable GPS, online tracking and emergency SOS with notification services.
It is lighter and smaller than its predecessor the 9555. Not only does the Extreme offer Iridium's global coverage for voice, data and SMS but it is the first satellite phone to offer the fully integrated services of customisable GPS, online tracking, and emergency SOS with notification services (additional contract required for tracking services).
Iridium Extreme Sat Phone is the most advanced satellite phone currently available. Other features of the handset include an IP65 rating which means the Extremeis dustproof, shock-resistant and jet water-resistant. It is also the first handset to offer military-grade 810F durability. Another first for satellite phones is the introduction of Iridium Axcess Point. This allows you to set up your Iridium Extremeas a Wi-Fi hotspot.
