Globally available broadband satellite service capable of up to 704 Kbps of bandwidth across aviation, maritime, land mobile, government, and IoT applications. Iridium Certus currently offers the fastest L-Band speeds available with a wide range of service classes addressing various customer budgets and needs.

The Iridium Certus service, enabled by Iridium NEXT, is a unique, crosslinked mesh architecture constellation that encompasses 100% of the globe. The constellation consists of 66 active satellites in orbit at approximately 781 kilometers above Earth, effectively classifying the satellite constellation as Low Earth Orbit (LEO). This proximity ensures extremely low latency (0.5 seconds) and consistent connectivity, even in severe weather events.

Iridium’s global coverage enables heightened situational awareness and efficient communications so you can effectively monitor and deliver critical cargo on time, anywhere in the world. Iridium’s robust services can be utilized as either the primary communications system or serve as a companion to existing VSAT setups, enabling you to stay connected, even when traveling polar routes.
