IRIDIUM: A satellite service that helps fleets be more efficient and safer anywhere in the world.
Iridium Certus is the new multi-service communication platform based on the Iridium NEXT constellation, able to offer high performance in data transmission services, with a speed of up to 1.4 Mbps, and the traditional reliability of voice services with truly global coverage.
SIRM UK is able to offer its customers the new Iridium Certus Maritime services as a valid alternative to traditional satellite communication solutions to meet the needs of large and small fleets with a high performance solution, flexible, with a high price/performance ratio and, above all, able to ensure a service that covers the entire surface of the earth, with coverage even in polar areas.
Reliability and return on investment
IRIDIUM CERTUS offers customers a number of competitive advantages, including:
-
Reliability: Service based on 66 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to ensure global service coverage in every corner of the world and in all weather conditions.
-
Speed: With the ability to reach up to 1.4Mps, Iridium Certus is positioned as a true broadband service.
-
Simplicity: Combining a range of lightweight, easy-to-install terminals with the speed and power of the new satellites, it has never been easier to be on the move and stay connected.
-
Multi-Service Platform: data, voice and security service in a single terminal, keeping crew and business activities connected at all times. By 2020, the service will also be certified for the Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS)
Iridium Pilot/Certus: A ship always connected
SIRM, as an Iridium service provider, offers the capability to integrate IRIDIUM services on board the ship, ensuring:
- A channel always available for critical on-board communications
- A reliable service that supports data exchange with ground offices via email or access to enterprise systems
- Three standard voice lines for telephone communication, on which it is possible to enable services with prepaid crew cards
- Full range of FleetOnCloud services
- A small, easily tireless terminal on board
- The Iridium Pilot terminal has a 5-year warranty and is the only marine terminal capable of providing truly global service coverage.
Safety first: IRIDIUM offers a pole-to-pole GMDSS solution and the only LRIT for A4 navigation areas.
IRIDIUM is in the process of certifying the service with the GMDSS regulations and is the only service able to ensure compliance with the Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) regulations in the A4 navigation areas for all ships (passenger ships, high-speed craft, mobile offshore drilling and cargo ships) above 300GT. Iridium enables LRIT service through the Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) solution with truly global coverage and high service performance.
The IRIDIUM network and the future
With a constellation of 66 interconnected Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, the IRIDIUM network provides marine customers with maximum robustness and reliability anywhere in the world, including polar areas not covered by other satellite constellations. The network is constantly evolving and, with the new IRIDIUM NEXT constellation, it will be possible to offer new services that are truly broadband with the reliability and simplicity of installation typical of PILOT terminals.
Flexible and cost-competitive rate plans
Iridium Pilot is an excellent tool for crew retention policies, allowing easy access to the entire crew to data services (management of email and internet browsing and social media) and voice communications, with the ability to have up to three calls simultaneously with the use of prepaid crew cards.
