Constellation (Iridium)

The Iridium Constellation refers to a network of satellites orbiting Earth, designed for global communications. Originally launched in the late 1990s, it consists of 66 operational satellites that provide voice and data services, especially in remote areas where traditional cell networks are unavailable. Each satellite covers a specific area and works together to ensure comprehensive coverage across the globe. Iridium is widely used in aviation, maritime, and emergency services, and it allows users to communicate from virtually anywhere, making it a crucial tool for connectivity in isolated locations.
