Experience Seamless Tracking and IoT Data Anywhere
Engineered for rugged environments, the Iridium Edge Solar is built to withstand the toughest conditions while providing reliable data transmission for up to 10 years. Powered by solar energy, its battery remains charged, and for added peace of mind, a backup battery ensures an additional 5 years of data transmission (based on 2x per day reporting).
Equipped with real-time GPS tracking and advanced Bluetooth capabilities, the Edge Pro Solar is the ideal choice for remote asset tracking, monitoring, and management. It empowers you to stay connected and in control, no matter how challenging the location.
To simplify data management, the Edge Solar seamlessly integrates with Cloudloop, Ground Control’s subscription, device, and data management platform. With Cloudloop, you have complete control over your data delivery, device configuration, subscriptions, usage alerts, cost control measures, and device tracking. You can even integrate this valuable data into your proprietary system if desired.

- Transmits using Iridium Short Burst Data
- 340 bytes per message sent; 270 bytes per message received
Ground Control provides Iridium SBD airtime both as a prepaid tariff and an annual contract, catering to different deployment needs. Complete pricing details can be found on our Short Burst Data Pricing page.
With our prepaid option, also known as pay-as-you-go, line rental is billed on a monthly basis, allowing the Edge Solar device to communicate with the Iridium satellite network. You only pay for the months in which you intend to use the Edge Solar, and no annual contract is required. The line rental cost is $17.00 per month.
Credits are consumed with each transmission. One credit is used for every 50 bytes (or portion thereof) of sent or received messages. Additionally, one credit is used for mailbox checks, even if there are no waiting messages. Credits do not expire and are shared among all devices associated with your account.
Please note that while our pay-as-you-go tariffs offer flexibility for development purposes, we understand they may not be suitable for everyone. Our contract options can often work out lower cost, particularly for longer or larger deployments of devices. Get in touch with us to get a quote tailored to your specific needs.
