Related Topics: Iridium Communications, iridium

Iridium phones are satellite phones that are designed to work in remote areas where traditional cellular networks are not available. These phones are used by people who work in industries such as mining, oil and gas, and forestry, as well as by adventurers and explorers who travel to remote locations. Iridium phones have several advantages over traditional cellular phones, but they also have some disadvantages.

One of the main advantages of Iridium phones is that they work anywhere in the world. Unlike traditional cellular phones, which rely on cellular towers to transmit signals, Iridium phones use a network of 66 satellites that orbit the earth.
