Iridium Satellite Network

The Iridium Satellite Network is a global communication system consisting of 66 low-Earth orbit satellites that enable voice and data connectivity anywhere on Earth. Unlike traditional land-based networks, Iridium's satellites circle the planet at about 485 miles altitude, providing reliable coverage even in remote or oceanic regions. This network supports services like emergency communication, maritime, aviation, and military applications, ensuring continuous connection regardless of location. Its infrastructure allows for real-time communication with minimal latency, making it a vital tool for organizations and individuals operating in challenging environments or needing global reach.
