Iridium Certus
Iridium Certus is a multi-service communications platform bringing a way to achieve global connectivity. With wide reaching coverage and speeds reaching up to 1.4 Mbps, even in the most remote areas of the globe, Iridium Certus delivers enterprise-grade services.
Provides users with the voice, data and broadcast options whether your application is large or small, high-speed or low-speed, Iridium Certus can be used to deliver the right service for your business needs.
Iridium Certus is capable of streaming data, high-quality voice, data broadcast and safety services – all built on a single platform.
How Iridium Certus is Unique
Iridium Certus is highly reliable, due to the advantages of the network’s architecture. Located in low Earth orbit (LEO), with crosslinks enabling cross-satellite communication and L-band end-user transmissions, the network is unaffected by weather conditions or the need for ground stations, unlike other satellite networks.

Global Coverage
The Iridium network infrastructure provides availability, redundancy and reliability as yet unmatched.
Unlike distant geostationary satellite networks that limit the geographic use and are subject to service degradation in inclement weather, Iridium Certus operates from a network of 66 low earth orbiting satellites that provide service anywhere on the planet, even in poor weather conditions, without compromise.
Iridium stands alone as the only truly global satellite network. Through an overlapping cross linked mesh architecture, Iridium’s global coverage means that you are never out of reach, regardless of your location.
Which terminals support the service?
Iridium have partnered with Cobham, the Thales Group & others to develop cutting-edge terminals to support Certus.
For the maritime market Cobham’s SAILOR 4300 and VesseLINK by Thales, are easy to install, light-weight small form factor antennas.
Their design and competitive price points brings much needed value, choice and increased quality of service to the maritime market.
Existing Iridium devices such as Iridium Pilot will continue to function normally but will not benefit from the new Iridium Certus speeds without one of the Iridium Certus terminals.
Iridium Certus extends the reach of terrestrial and cellular infrastructure with mobile communications capabilities, making it ideal for supporting critical connectivity needs regardless of location, terrain and weather events. The equipment is well suited for:
- First Responders – Fire Fighters, Policemen, Emergency Medical Responders
- Utility Workers – Oil and Gas Workers, Field Service, Energy Providers
- Transportation – Logistics
- Media – Journalists
- Military – Combat Operations, Combat Support
- NGO – Relief Workers, Security Teams
