Iridium Certus – The next generation of satellite connectivity, anytime, anywhere

We are pleased to announce the effective service launch of Iridium Certus.

Iridium Certus has been designed to become the market’s fastest L-band (MSS) satellite connectivity, and as of today the only Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation that offers truly global service coverage (including the Poles).

Iridium Certus – Maritime

Iridium Certus is offered by Marlink as a standalone connectivity solution or as back-up solutions to our Sealink VSAT services. It is empowered by Marlink’s XChange smart service platform to deliver high-quality voice, VoIP and managed data traffic.

Iridium Certus users can also benefit from Marlink’s unique suite of digital solutions, such as SkyFile Mail and Anti Virus, Universal Card, the crew prepaid card for private communications, Data Manager for managing Certus data/IP traffic and much more.

Additionally, Iridium Certus has been approved for Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) and will be introduced in a later stage.

Cobham and Thales terminals have been specifically chosen to equip Iridium Certus due to their robust qualities, designed to endure the test of time and withstand the harshest of environments. Debuting at 352 Kbps initially, eventual speeds are expected to reach up to 704 Kbps, providing reliable connectivity at all times.

Iridium Certus – Land

Iridium Certus Land is offered by Marlink as a standalone connectivity solution and is compatible with major Value Added Services offered by Marlink, including SkyFile messaging solutions and Data Manager for managing Certus data/IP traffic.

Just one terminal ensures users have several options for seamless data, voice and safety services, keeping connectivity at all time whether on land or at sea.

Thales terminal has been specifically chosen to equip Iridium Certus Land due to their robust qualities, designed to endure the test of time and withstand the harshest of environments. Debuting at 352 Kbps initially, eventual speeds are expected to reach up to 704 Kbps, providing reliable connectivity at all times.
