Iridium Handhelds

Global Calling in the Palm of Your Hand

Operating on the Iridium satellite network, a constellation of 66 satellites in a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) with cross-link architecture, Iridium handsets enable you to make and receive calls virtually anywhere in the world, requiring only a clear line of sight to the sky.

Iridium Handhelds are suitable for the professional on the move, and offer anyone working remotely in locations with limited access to traditional terrestrial connectivity, voice and data services and much more. While the Iridium 9555 small, light and water-resistant device is particularly suitable for industrial and rugged environments, the Iridium Extreme® is ideal for government and military personnel, emergency responders, mining teams or users that require location based services for real-time tracking.
