Iridium GO! Aviation Package

Global Satellite Coverage

The Iridium GO! operates on the Iridium satellite network, providing global coverage, including remote regions, oceans, and polar areas where traditional cellular networks are unavailable. This allows flight crews and passengers to remain connected during flights outside conventional communications coverage.

Compatible applications support satellite voice calls, SMS messaging, email, GPS location sharing, weather information, and other low-bandwidth communications designed specifically for satellite operation.

Designed for Aviation Environments

The included Iridium Glass Mount Suction Antenna is designed for installation on an aircraft windscreen or other glass surfaces where satellite visibility can be improved. Combined with the external antenna adapter, it allows the Iridium GO! to remain conveniently located inside the aircraft while maintaining a reliable connection to the satellite network.

Because the antenna attaches using a suction mount, installation is straightforward without requiring permanent modifications to many aircraft.

Portable Wi-Fi Communications

The Iridium GO! creates a Wi-Fi hotspot that supports up to five connected mobile devices within approximately a 100-foot (30-meter) range. Compatible smartphones and tablets can use the Iridium GO! application for satellite calling, messaging, email, and weather services without requiring specialized satellite handsets.

The familiar smartphone interface reduces training requirements and allows multiple crew members to access communications as needed.

Weather and Flight Information

Access to weather updates can be especially valuable when operating in remote areas. Supported weather applications allow pilots to receive forecasts and weather information through the Iridium network when other communication options are unavailable.

While the GO! is not intended for broadband internet use, it performs well for applications designed specifically for low-bandwidth satellite connectivity, including text-based messaging and optimized email services.

Rugged Design for Mobile Operations

The Iridium GO! is built for demanding environments with MIL-STD-810F durability and an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water jets. Its compact size allows it to be easily carried between aircraft, vehicles, field locations, or emergency deployments.

The included wall mount bracket provides a secure mounting option while allowing the device to be removed quickly whenever portability is required.

Practical Applications

The Aviation Package is well suited for:

• General aviation
• Business aviation
• Flight training
• Aerial survey operations
• Search and rescue
• Emergency response aviation
• Humanitarian missions
• Remote air transport

It also serves as an effective backup communication solution for aircraft operating in isolated regions.

Support, Warranty, and Service

An active Iridium service plan is required to use satellite voice, messaging, and data services. Satellite Phone Store can help identify the most appropriate airtime plan based on expected flight activity and communication needs.

Our team also provides activation assistance, installation guidance, and technical support before and after purchase.

Bundle Integration

The accessories included in this package work together to improve aircraft deployment. The glass mount antenna enhances satellite visibility from inside the aircraft, the external antenna adapter connects the antenna to the GO!, and the wall mount provides a convenient installation point while allowing quick removal whenever portability is needed.

This combination offers greater installation flexibility without sacrificing the portable nature of the Iridium GO!.

For the best satellite performance during flight, position the glass mount antenna where it has the clearest practical view of the sky through the aircraft windshield. Before departure, verify the antenna attachment and test connectivity while on the ground to avoid troubleshooting in flight.
