Portable Satellite Terminal
All Iridium products operate anywhere on the planet, which means both North and South poles, open oceans, all continents, stationary or moving or flying as long as the GO is exposed to the open sky. And with a 100 foot (30 meters) Wi-Fi range, one may connect a smart device to the GO while inside.
While the internet connection is limited at an advertised 2.5 kilobits per second, it’s enough to do basics such as sending small files or checking the weather from a weather app.
Iridium GO! is small enough to fit in your pocket and like other Iridium products, it’s tough enough to withstand rain, sand, dust and rough use. It has an Ingress rating of IP 65, which means it’s dust tight, and can withstand waterjets from any direction. Its also meets military rugged standard of MIL-STD 810F.

Iridium GO! data minutes are simply a dial-up connection to the internet. When browsing or using email, your GO! terminal will automatically connect to the Internet by dialing a phone number. Since it is a phone call to the internet, it’s billed on a per-minute basis.
Also, since the GO! can only make one call at a time, you can’t be on the internet and make a phone call at the same time. For new subscribers, we highly recommend using the unlimited data plan when initially starting GO! service since you can be connected any length of time. Once acclimated to the GO!, downgrade to a lower plan if you find that you are not using the service much.
