Iridium is the only satellite communications provider that works anywhere on the planet. With 66 global cross-linked satellites, government officials of any sized country can utilize Iridium’s reliable network to communicate, even if local telecommunications infrastructure has been damaged or compromised.

 

Not only are Iridium and Iridium Connected devices built to last because of their portability and rugged design, but they operate just as well in severe weather conditions. Potential large-scale disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, or thunderstorms do not impact Iridium’s reliable network coverage, allowing government officials to coordinate emergency response plans as soon as disaster strikes in their country.

 

AES-256 encryption allows users of Iridium’s devices to protect sensitive information being communicated. Whether a government official is implementing an emergency response plan or coalition operations are transferring sensitive information, security and protection is enabled at all times. In addition, any single Iridium device can be marked as blacklisted if it is lost or stolen, so even if a device falls into the wrong hands, the information can be protected.

 

Iridium Push-To-Talk (PTT) devices offer real-time group communications for remote teams, regardless of distance. Tough Iridium and Iridium Connected® solutions allow you to interoperate with traditional land-mobile radios and enable rapid, reliable, and secure coordination with your team like never before.
