100% Global Coverage & Service Iridium Certus services are 100% global even on the north and south poles at full available speeds. There is no place above ground it does not cover... an excellent advantage over other satellite service that have limited service regions or line-of-sight obstructions. The Iridium network uses 66 satellites that are moving in Low-Earth-Orbit... For more information please visit the: Iridium Certus Coverage Map

MissionLINK Terminal
The Thales MissionLINK is composed of two main parts, the transceiver and the domed antenna which are connected by a 10 foot (3 meter) antenna cable. Below is the front panel of the MissionLINK terminal.

On the front panel next to the on-off button is a standard RJ-14 phone jack that will support 2 standard phone lines (with dial-tone). A phone splitter is used to break out the 2nd phone line. Note that any standard corded or cordless phone will operate with this phone jack. Also shown are three Ethernet ports which can support any connected device and VoIP phones (up to 3 VoIP phones for 3 phone lines). The WAN port is for a device connected to the Internet such as a cellular modem or satellite dish so that the end user may have least-cost routing... For example, if a vehicle travels out of the less expensive cellular coverage area, the satellite connection will automatically be there.

On the back panel is the WiFi (802.11bg) antenna for up to 12 wireless devices, the SIM card slot, an IO Input-Output port for API integration (not required for normal use), a power port that can take a wide range DC voltages from 10 to 32 volts from any source. The 12VDC power port is an alternate power input port. Right of that is the antenna connector for the 10' (3 meter) antenna cable and finally a vehicle chassis grounding lug.


The MissionLink antenna comes with rubberized mag-mounts that attach to 3 locations on the bottom of the antenna for easy placement on any vehicle rooftop. Additional hardware for fixed location and rackmount mounting is also included with the terminal (see photos below).

Extremely Ruggedized
The phased array antenna is rated at IP66 (powerful water jets) with a vibration spec of MIL_STD-810G. The antenna has no moving parts which makes it hard to damage in most any condition. Environmentally it can withstand temperatures of -30°C to +55°C (-34°F to 131°F). The same is true for the terminal which is designed to be inside of a vehicle or structure, it however is not designed to be exposed to the outdoor elements like rain.
