Iridium Certus 700 Range

Internet & Phone - Land & Sea

In early 2019 Iridium updated their entire constellation of 66 low-earth orbiting satellites that were placed in operational orbit in 1998.

This much needed 20 year technology upgrade is a game-changer and now Iridium satellites are delivering high-speed Internet (up to 700 Kbps now and 1.2 Mbps soon), push-to-talk, M2M, and Aviation services that were not available… until now.

Iridium Certus is now available, at varying levels of throughput – from the M2M applications of Certus 100 enabled devices like the RockREMOTE through to the high-throughput Certus 700 services you’ll find on this page. You can also view our Iridium Certus service plans here.

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 real-time map: Iridium Certus Live Coverage Map.

A major benefit of the Iridium LEO Low-Earth-Orbiting satellites is latency (or ping time) is far far less than Geo-Stationary satellites since Iridium satellites are under 500 miles above earth and not 23,000 miles away. Iridium’s network latency is expected to be 40 to 50 milliseconds! (In 2020 pinging at about 395ms +- 100 milliseconds). Compare that with Geo-Stationary satellites that have latency of 500 to 1000 milliseconds and there is no comparison. Many applications such as VPNs operate far better on a low latency connection.
