Iridium is the only
provider of truly global satellite voice and data solutions with complete coverage of the earth (including oceans, air-
ways and Polar Regions). Iridium delivers essential communications services to and from remote areas
where no other form of communication
is available. Iridium makes this
possible through its constellation of
66 low-earth orbiting (LEO), cross-
linked satellites and 11 in-orbit spares. The Iridium service is ideally suited
for industries such as maritime,
aviation, government / military,
emergency / humanitarian services, mining, forestry, oil and gas, heavy equipment, transportation and utilities.
