Iridium GO! exec FAQ
Is the DataHub required for tracking with the new Iridium GO! exec?
Yes, the Iridium GO! exec does not have any tracking features on its own.
Will SIM cards for old type Iridium GO work in the Iridium GO! exec?
The Iridium GO! exec uses a different type of SIM card, made for the Iridium GO! exec. It comes with a Sim
card. The good thing is that is can be activated and deactivated, so you only need the one.
What are the dimensions and weight of the Iridium GO! exec
200mm x 200mm x 30mm. It weighs 1.2KG
What are the charging options for the GO! exec? What type plug does the charge input use and at what
voltage/amps?
The Iridium GO! exec is powered from a USB-C connector, and comes with a USB-C, 5 Volt, 3 amp power adaptor.
It doesn't use that much power for transmit, though. It is around 15 Watts on transmit/receive and 5
watts standby. It can be powered from a 2 amp USB outlet also, if you already have one on the boat.
Does the Iridium GO! exec use the same battery as the regular GO!?
The Iridium GO! exec has a built-in battery, different to the Iridium GO. It is not user replaceable. Needs
to be sent to Iridium for replacement.
Is the external antenna offered for the Exec the same as that previously offered for the regular GO!? I
already have the old antenna installed.
The external antenna is spec'd for Certus 100, it has different internals, but looks the same as the
Iridium GO!'s. The cable is 5 Meters long, so we recommend mounting the Iridium GO! exec aft in the
boat, closer to the push pit, if that's where the external antenna is mounted. We don't recommend
extending beyond 5 meters with the LMR400 cable, as this is the length specified by Iridium.
Am I correct in understanding that the GO! exec includes a speakerphone in the unit such that a Wi-Fi
connected device is no longer required to make phone calls? Can calls still be made with an external device?
Yes, it has a speaker, and can be used on its own for calls, or with the App.
Does the Exec have an Ethernet port to connect an external router?
Yes, it has an Ethernet port you can connect to a computer or router.
Are GPS tracking messages sent over the GO! exec from a data hub billed as MB or is this data sent as
free messages?
GPS tracking is done by the DataHub connected to the Iridium GO! exec. It talks to the Iridium GO! exec and
brings up a connection, sends the tiny tracking data packets, then turns off the connection. Tracking is set
to hourly by default on the DataHub, but you can change it. The data is counted in your plan for tracking.
With the GO! exec 50 plan for example at $159.95 per month having 50MB data. One typical weather download is
200kb, so 10 weather downloads is 2MB. When considering they take seconds rather than 20 minutes with the
Iridium GO!, its a real game changer.
How much data will tracking use per month set to 1 hourly tracking.
The amount of data for one position report is 200 bytes. The minimum charged billing increments for a
connection is 5kb So for just tracking, 30 days on hourly tracking will use 3.6 MB. This can be changed in
the settings to collect position reports every hour or 15 minutes, and send them each 4 hours for example.
You can also use the DataHub to check for mail every hour, and send the tracking reports at the same time to
efficiently use the 5kb minimum billing increment.
What is the difference between using GO! exec service and the slower Certus data plans? What are the
expected Exec upload/download speeds?
The Iridium GO! exec has a Certus 100 modem in it, this is the slowest Certus connection. Download speeds
are up to 88 kbps, upload speeds are up to 22kbps.
If I purchase an annual data plan for the exec, what happens to unused data/minutes at the end of the year?
What if I exceed my data usage for the year?
The unused data does not roll over, unfortunately. You get alerts when you reach different percentages of
your limit. If you go over, you are charged per MB. We are still waiting on the details of those numbers
yet, it will likely be close to US $10 per MB.
What is the phase out plan for the regular GO! and the existing unlimited data plan?
There will always be a place for the Iridium GO!. Because of the price point of the unlimited plan for the
Iridium GO!, some people will always be happy to wait, and know how much it will cost them for the month. We
don't see it being ended any time soon.
Can I get an extension for the outside antenna?
We don't recommend extending beyond 5 meters, as this is the length specified by Iridium.
Can I send SOS and will it send my GPS position?
Yes, there is a built-in GPS for the SOS function.
How long will a battery last in a life raft situation?
It has 6 hours talk time and 20 hours standby
Without the data hub connected, is there any way to send a GPS position for the tracking page from the Iridium
GO! exec except to manually enter and message/send a position read from another device?
There is no other way.
I am interested in the Iridium GO! exec, but I need some way to control which apps use internet
connection, so I can control how much data I use, can you explain how this can be done on a phone and a
Windows pc?
The Iridium GO! exec has its own built in firewalls to block background traffic. When you want to use an App
like PredictWind to download a weather forecast, in the downloads section of the Offshore App, when you
select "Download" it will tell the Iridium GO! exec to connect and just download the PredictWind
info, blocking all other traffic for that session, then it disconnects. If you want to open a webpage, you
can choose the web profile, and data will be limited to the browsers you have running. GO! exec aware apps
set firewall rules that only allow them to use the internet. Users can create custom firewall profiles for
apps that do not have link control built into them. The firewall rules can be defined either with the GO!
exec App and/or using the DataHub. When connecting to the internet using the GO! exec App, users can select
either predefined system profiles or user defined profiles. Only apps meeting the firewall rules defined by
the profile can access the internet. The same is true when manually starting a session using the GO! exec
user interface elements in the DataHub If using Quick Books or Quicken Apps for example, users would need to
know what ports and web addresses to open, they must know the ports and hostnames to block everything but
that App in a custom profile. This information is usually quite easy to find on the internet when setting up
the system. Otherwise users would have to use the open all profile.
