The Power Behind Your Call: The Iridium® Satellite Network
What makes Iridium so dependable? It’s their unique network of 66 cross-linked Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. This architecture means shorter transmission paths, stronger signals, lower latency, and truly global coverage – including oceans, airways, and both polar regions. Unlike geostationary satellites, LEO constellations are less susceptible to localized weather interference. When other networks falter, Iridium holds. Want the deep dive?
