Truly Global Asset Tracking
When assets and workers travel off-grid, pole-to-pole coverage via satellite makes a material difference. Continue to drive efficiencies and increase safety, across all borders, at all times.
“We[…] chose to integrate with Ground Control because of their justified reputation for reliability, and the ease of integration with our software.”

Iridium SBD Coverage Map
Iridium SBD airtime is utilized by the RockSTAR, RockAIR, RockFLEET and Iridium GO! devices.
The Iridium satellite constellation is in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) which presents several benefits for IoT applications. The main benefit is latency; as these satellites are much closer to Earth than satellites in geostationary orbit, the ping time is typically less than one second.
The Iridium satellite network is also ideal for mobile applications, as antennas are omni-directional, and do not need to be pointed; their data will be accepted by the passing satellite and then ‘handed off’ to the next satellite, delivering 100% seamless coverage.

Short Burst Data & Iridium GO! Service Plans and Pricing
For more information about our SBD Service Plans, please visit our dedicated Iridium SBD Pricing page. Likewise, head to our Iridium GO! Service Plans page, for full details of our Iridium GO! airtime pricing, including pre-paid services.
Satellite airtime isn’t cheap, and we pride ourselves on delivering great value for our customers. So, rather than having a small number of plans that will either see you rack up expensive overage fees, or pay for data you don’t use, we tailor our plans to every customer. These are example plans only; let us know what your data requirements are and we’ll make a plan that suits you.
Also, please note that our annual plans are available for any SBD device; our Pay-As-You-Go plans are exclusive to Ground Control manufactured devices.
Our pay-as-you-go plans offer great flexibility for development purposes, and are available for the RockBLOCK 9602 and RockBLOCK 9603 plug-and-play satellite transceivers, the RockSTAR personal tracking device, RockFLEET vehicle tracking device, and the RockAIR aircraft tracking device.
Line rental allows the SBD device to exchange information with the Iridium satellite network. Credits are used each time you transmit.
Line rental allows the SBD device to exchange information with the Iridium satellite network. Credits are used each time you transmit. One credit is used per 50 bytes (or part thereof) of message sent or received. One credit is also used if you check your mailbox and there are no messages waiting (a mailbox check).
Be sure to check out our SBD Pricing page for full details of our Pay-As-You-Go service plans.
Ground Control offers two airtime service plans for the Iridium GO!: a monthly service plan with data minutes included, and a variable rate for voice calls, or a prepaid service which gives you a fixed number of data and voice minutes, with the option to roll over unused minutes if the service is renewed. We’ve listed some of our monthly service plans here; please visit our Iridium GO! airtime pricing page for full details.
BGAN M2M Coverage Map
BGAN M2M airtime is utilized by the Cobham Explorer 323.
The Inmarsat I-6 F1 launched on 22nd December 2021, and will be followed by the I-6 F2 in 2023. Both are dual-band satellites and will support both L-Band and Ka-Band frequencies. With the launch, Inmarsat will easily be able to support four times the amount of traffic the network can support today, which means faster speeds and continued reliability of service. The new satellites also deliver greater coverage.
