    Why switch your SBD airtime to Ground Control?

    Customized quotes

    Thanks to our strong partnership with Iridium, we have the ability to tailor your airtime plan to your specific needs. Rather than a plan where you're paying for data you don't use, or one where you're constantly hit with overage charges, our plans will be custom-fit for your application.

    Regular usage reviews

    We'll regularly and proactively review your account to make sure you're on the most cost-effective plan for your usage. The main objective is to make sure that you're not paying for data you're not using, and that you're not incurring overage fees because you're using more data than you anticipated.

    Data pooling

    This is a game-changer if you have a large number of SBD-enabled devices. By aggregating all of their data plans into a single pool, you're much less likely to experience overage fees if single device starts transmitting more data, more frequently, than you anticipated.
