iridium Everywhere Iridium satellite phones use the power of the world's furthest reaching network to provide reliable, truly global mobile communications. Together Iridium Extreme® and Iridium 9555 put more innovative capability—and more ways to connect—into the hands of people everywhere. Iridium satellite phones are built with the same reliable voice and data capability that users have come to trust from the only truly global mobile satellite communications company in the world. No other handsets deliver two-way coverage over the Earth's entire surface, including across oceans, airways and polar regions. The truly global advantage Iridium relies on the unique cross-linked architecture of its global constellation of 66 Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites to provide inherent advantages in satellite phone performance and dependability, everywhere on the planet. Each Iridium satellite is linked to four others—two in the same orbital plane and one in each adjacent plane—creating a dynamic network in space that routs traffic among satellites to ensure a continuous connection. On the ground, Iridium's extensive interconnected infrastructure ensures high reliability through multiple layers of redundancy and back-up systems for all critical functions. This configuration allows the Iridium network to remain unaffected by natural disasters, including hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes that can cripple terrestrial networks and wireless infrastructure. In touch and on the go Iridium satellite phones are the ultimate in dependable mobile communications. Iridium's omni-directional antenna design allows users to connect to the network anywhere there is an open view of the sky—giving them the flexibility to talk and move freely, everywhere. At only 476 miles from the Earth, the proximity of Iridium's network provides the lowest latency of voice and data communications, the shortest registration time, and the lowest communication delays of all Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) providers. Iridium's worldwide flat voice and data rates also offers users the convenience of predictable and affordable costs, no matter where they go. Ready for what comes next Anticipated to begin launching in 2015, Iridium NEXT is a fast-approaching game-changing reality. Iridium's next generation satellite constellation will deliver backward compatibility and ongoing support for Iridium handsets—ensuring longevity and security of users' purchase for decades to come.
