Iridium Certus VSAT Companion

Overview

Iridium Certus is the new multi-service platform powered by the $3 billion Iridium NEXT constellation. With uncompromising coverage and a range of speeds eventually up to 1.4 Mbps, Iridium Certus will deliver global, reliable, enterprise-grade services while redefining the capabilities of mobile satellite communications.

VSAT equipped vessels can suffer from slow data rates, due to high demand from crew users. Iridium Certus companion service can mitigate these constraints, delivering performance and cargo data alongside the primary VSAT terminal and allowing a ship’s critical business to continue 24/7.

The Iridium VSAT Companion plan enables the OT revolution on-board a vessel, delivering connectivity either as a primary satellite system (Iridium Certus for primary communications); or as part of a hybrid communications system (Iridium Certus as VSAT Companion).
