Blue Sky Skylink 5100 Kit w/ Direct-Mount Antenna - Global

Global Connectivity Wherever Operations Take You

Built on the Iridium Certus® 100 network, the SkyLink 5100 provides dependable communications anywhere Iridium's global satellite coverage is available. Unlike regional satellite services, Iridium's low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation delivers truly global coverage, making the system well suited for operations in remote deserts, forests, mountains, mining sites, border regions, and other locations beyond the reach of terrestrial infrastructure.

The terminal supports broadband IP connectivity alongside high-quality satellite voice services, allowing users to stay connected for operational communications, remote network access, and field reporting.

Dual-Mode Communications for Greater Flexibility

One of the SkyLink 5100's key advantages is its ability to combine Iridium Certus satellite communications with LTE connectivity. When cellular service is available, the terminal can utilize LTE to reduce satellite usage, while automatically maintaining satellite connectivity for operations outside cellular coverage.

This flexibility allows organizations to deploy a single communications platform across both connected and remote environments without changing equipment or workflows.

Available in Multiple Configurations

The SkyLink 5100 platform is available in several configurations designed for different operational requirements while sharing the same core communications platform.

Available models include:

• SL5100-LM-MRW – Standard Land Mobile configuration with voice and broadband connectivity for vehicles and remote operations.
• SL5100-IOT-MRW (SkyLink 5100 IoT Kit A) – Optimized for telemetry, remote monitoring, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications.
• SL5100-IOT-B-GL – Global IoT configuration designed for industrial monitoring, automation, and remote asset management.
• SL5100-LM-SCN-GL – Global Land Mobile configuration supporting professional satellite communications for fixed and mobile deployments.

Each model is designed around the same SkyLink 5100 platform while providing capabilities tailored to specific operational requirements.

Built for Professional Field Operations

The SkyLink 5100 is engineered for permanent installation in vehicles and fixed infrastructure operating in demanding environments. Its direct-mount antenna provides a secure, low-profile installation, while the communications unit integrates easily with onboard computers, networking equipment, and operational systems.

The platform supports secure VPN access, remote device management, telemetry reporting, and hosted applications, making it suitable for organizations that depend on continuous communications with remote personnel or infrastructure.

Typical applications include:

• Fleet communications
• Emergency response
• Utilities and infrastructure
• Mining and energy
• Environmental monitoring
• Remote asset management

A Complete Communications Platform

More than just a satellite modem, the SkyLink 5100 serves as an integrated communications platform for remote operations. Depending on the selected configuration, it supports voice services, internet connectivity, telemetry, hosted applications, remote diagnostics, and automated reporting from a single installation.

Whether deployed in a single response vehicle or across a large fleet, the SkyLink 5100 provides a reliable communications solution that helps organizations stay connected wherever their operations take them.
