Iridium

Communication anywhere on the planet

Far offshore, cell phones quit and even some satellite services have coverage gaps, but Iridium offers truly global coverage thanks to its satellite network that spans the entire planet, including the open oceans and polar regions. Iridium satellite phones provide voice and text from anywhere, satellite messengers and devices send messages, share location, and trigger SOS, and data devices add connectivity. For boaters who make long offshore passages, cruise remote waters, or want communication that works literally anywhere, Iridium is the global solution. When you need to call for help, check in, or get weather from the middle of an ocean, Iridium's worldwide coverage is a vital communication and safety tool.

Choosing the right product comes down to your needs and coverage. A satellite phone handles voice and text and is the most direct way to call for help and stay in touch, while a satellite messenger sends messages, shares your location, and triggers SOS in a compact device. Data devices add connectivity. All require an active service plan, so factor airtime into your decision. Consider battery life, durability, and how you will use it. Review the product details and service requirements before buying. With Iridium aboard, you stay connected anywhere on the ocean.
