SATCOMM I9523 SMARTBLADE
SERVICES AVAILABLE
Voice Calling: Enables global voice calling in remote regions for operation critical communication needs anywhere on the planet. A mesh of 66 active Low-Earth Orbit Iridium satellites blankets the Earth, providing reliable coverage from pole-to-pole
Iridium Short Burst Data® (SBD®): Data Delivered – Everywhere. Real-time, two-way messaging anywhere in the world. A simple, efficient packet-based service for frequent short data transmissions between equipment and centralized host computer systems. Iridium's LEO network enables low-latency connections through shorter transmission paths than GEO networks
Iridium RUDICS: Multi-Protocol, Circuit-Switched Data Connectivity. Router-Based Unrestricted Digital Internetworking Connectivity Solutions (RUDICS) is an enhanced data service that allows for large data transfers via multi-protocol Mobile Originated (MO) and Mobile Terminated (MT) circuit switched data connectivity across the Iridium satellite network.
Iridium Circuit Switched Data (CSD): An asynchronous, circuit-switched, 2400bps, bi-directional service that allows for dial-up services. It can be used for larger amounts of data, including files of dozens or hundreds of megabytes. Real-Time, Simultaneous Connections. Ideal for applications where a limited number of field devices need to send their data a few times per day, or where the user, from a central location, reaches out to the field applications to retrieve their data.
Iridium Push-To-Talk: Connect with your team instantly from anywhere. With Iridium Push-To-Talk (PTT), group communications are enhanced globally with Iridium’s global, low-latency network. This unique, mission-critical system is built for speed and security, with LMR performance and AES-256 encryption.
