Iridium Messaging Transport (IMT) is a globally available, reliable, fast and affordable means of sending IoT data over satellite. It is the successor to Short Burst Data (SBD), but it can transmit far larger data packets of up to 100 kB, including image and audio files. If you’re sending more than 10 kB of data per month, it’s also more cost-effective than SBD.
The new Iridium 9704 module, and products built with this such as the RockBLOCK Pro, utilize IMT.
The following plans are representative only. We strongly encourage you to contact us with your requirements so we can provide you with a tailored quote.
