RELIABLE & SECURE
Iridium Push-to-Talk communications are kept private with AES 256 encryption. Automatic programming and registration with easy-to-use menu navigation.
GLOBAL COVERAGE
Works from pole-to-pole, where and when you need it. Use on-foot, in-vehicle or in-building with available accessories.
