Iridium is the only true global satellite network in the world. It
is the sole choice for any
adventurer going to the Arctic Ocean or Antarctica. Iridium's data
speed is slower than that of Globalstar and Thuraya, but it's the way to go if you travel all over
the world and want only one Sat
phone. Voice quality is surprisingly good, with only a short delay.
Iridium is the top choice for ocean rowers and world
circumnavigators.
Iridium is frequently used with a PDA or laptop and CONTACT 2.0
software to transmit pics and dispatches. Images transmit fine, but
video clips must be kept short.
