The Iridium Certus Network:
The Only Truly Global Coverage
Iridium is the only satellite network providing coverage across 100% of the Earth's surface, including the poles. Its 66 low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites deliver a reliable connection where other networks — Starlink, 4G and Inmarsat — are unavailable or limited.
Iridium Certus 100 is the current generation of Iridium's maritime service, designed for small and medium-sized vessels. It provides a continuous, low-power communication channel, ideal for weather routing, email, messaging, tracking and SOS alerts.
Iridium Coverage — Including Polar Regions
From Cape Horn to the Arctic, from the Atlantic to the Pacific: Iridium is the only satellite network active at polar latitudes. Essential for transatlantic crossings, circumnavigations and offshore cruising.
One Device — Four Networks — Every Function
The SmartConnect Gateway replaces several separate devices: a router, satellite terminal, tracking beacon, alarm control unit and IoT hub.
