Iridium GO! Marine Bundle

Reliable Coverage Offshore

The Iridium GO! operates on the Iridium satellite network, providing truly global satellite coverage, including open oceans and polar regions. Unlike coastal cellular networks, coverage continues well beyond shore, making it suitable for offshore cruising, commercial fishing, ocean passages, and remote marine operations.

Connected devices can make voice calls, send SMS messages, exchange emails, receive weather forecasts, download GRIB weather files, and share GPS locations through compatible Iridium applications.

Designed for Marine Installation

This bundle is designed to improve satellite reception while allowing the Iridium GO! to remain safely inside the vessel. The passive external antenna mounts above deck, while the included external antenna adapter and 30-foot LMR400 low-loss cable connect the GO! to the antenna.

Keeping the device below deck protects it from salt spray and harsh weather while allowing convenient access from the cabin. At the same time, the GO! can be disconnected from the mount and carried ashore or placed in an emergency ditch bag if conditions require.

Portable Wi-Fi Connectivity

The Iridium GO! creates a Wi-Fi hotspot that allows compatible smartphones and tablets to connect without requiring cellular service. Using the Iridium GO! app, users can place satellite voice calls, send text messages, access supported email services, and use weather applications from their own mobile devices.

Because the interface relies on familiar smartphones and tablets, crew members can quickly learn to use the system without specialized equipment.

Weather Information for Better Decision Making

For many offshore boaters, timely weather information is one of the most valuable features of the Iridium GO!. Supported weather applications allow GRIB weather files and forecasts to be downloaded via satellite, helping captains monitor changing conditions and make informed routing decisions while offshore.

This capability supports safer passage planning during long-distance cruising, racing, fishing trips, and extended expeditions.

Practical Applications

The Marine Bundle is well suited for:

• Offshore sailing and cruising
• Commercial fishing vessels
• Recreational boating
• Yacht owners
• Marine research operations
• Emergency preparedness aboard vessels
• Backup communications beyond cellular coverage

Its combination of fixed installation and portable operation makes it suitable for both everyday onboard communication and emergency situations.

Support, Service, and Activation

The Iridium GO! requires an active Iridium service plan for satellite communications. Satellite Phone Store can help select the appropriate airtime plan based on expected voice, messaging, and data usage.

Our team also provides activation assistance, installation guidance, and technical support before and after purchase. If additional cable length or marine accessories are required for your installation, compatible options are available.

Bundle Integration

Each component in this bundle is selected to simplify marine deployment. The external antenna improves satellite visibility, the low-loss cable helps maintain signal quality over the installation run, and the wall mount provides a secure location for the GO! inside the vessel.

Together, these components create a permanent onboard communication system while preserving the portability that makes the Iridium GO! valuable during emergencies or when leaving the vessel.

For the most reliable performance, mount the external antenna with an unobstructed view of the sky and route the cable carefully to avoid sharp bends. Even with a permanent installation, keep the Iridium GO! charged so it can be removed quickly and used as a portable emergency communication device if necessary.
