Description
The Iridium 9505A satellite phone is the proven work horse of the Iridium network. It is significantly smaller, lighter and more resistant to water, dust and shock than the original Iridium 9500 and is ideal for industrial or rugged conditions, yet appealing to the traveling professional. It is used in almost every country by government agencies, first responders, business people, and remote travelers alike. Iridium satellite phones are used by emergency personnel all over the world.
This phone was released in 2004 and might seem a little long in the tooth, but it’s durable and gets reliable coverage on the Iridium network. In fact, this might be the simplest phone to use because it lacks options and complexity. It’s slightly big in size but is a reliable USA-made phone and a favorite among U.S. goSatellite vernment employees. Caveat: Unlike some other phones, the Iridium 9505A does not have a dedicated emergency SOS button.
