Truly Global Powerful Performance

Iridium®: The possibilities are endless

Powered by a uniquely sophisticated global constellation of 66 L-band cross-linked Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, the Iridium® network provides high-quality voice and data connections over the planet’s entire surface, including across oceans, airways and polar regions. The flexible software-based design of the Iridium® network serves as the technological backbone for the development of an impressive array of industry defining products and services. The unparalleled coverage and high dependability of the Iridium® network mean that Intellian’s customers can rely on critical communication lifelines when and where needed most.

Intellian and Iridium have forged a strong and innovative partnership since 2019 and our collaboration has resulted in the development of cutting-edge terminals like the C700, C200M, and C200L, which utilize Iridium's global L-band LEO network to provide reliable connectivity across the globe. Our newest  This partnership has led to significant advancements in maritime safety including the Intellian GMDSS safety terminal which is in development.

Iridium®: True global coverage

Iridium’s unique constellation architecture makes it the only network that covers 100% of the planet. Satellites are cross-linked to provide reliable, low-latency, weather-resilient connections that enable communication anywhere in the world. The Iridium® L-band constellation is in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), approximately 780 kilometres (485 miles above the Earth, providing stronger signals and faster connectivity through smaller antennas with lower power requirements. Additionally, the unique structure of Iridium's Low-Earth Orbit allows satellites to converge at the poles, ensuring coverage in the remote high-latitude regions where no other satellite provider has coverage. Iridium's LEO network uses L-band frequencies to communicate with the users. These frequencies are more resilient to weather, providing reliable communications even in adverse conditions in the air, on the sea, or on the ground.
