Iridium communication systems provide complete global coverage for your aircraft without encountering the dreaded “No Service” or “Dead” zones that permeate the skies over our oceans, the Polar Regions, and unincorporated areas of our globe.
There are numerous options encountered when reviewing the capabilities of the Iridium SatCom technologies that are available to the aviation industry with most offering full service aeronautical communication systems incorporating a single or dual channel Iridium transceiver with separate ACARS DataLink services. The newest models can be equipped with an internal GPS, or a separate monitor with GPS for fleet tracking.
