Iridium satellite network frequency.
Making connections anywhere to anyone or anything there is no other network like iridium.
Six remain on the ground as spares for a total of 81 built.
Only iridium offers truly global communications through a constellation of 66 crosslinked leo satellites.
The iridium next network covers the entire earth including poles oceans and airways with 66 satellites with the remaining 9 acting as active backups for a total of 75 launched.
Each iridium next satellite is outfitted with two 20 30ghz uplink downlink steerable feeder links connecting the satellite to a terrestrial gateway and four 23 18 to 23 38 ghz crosslinks to connect each satellite to neighboring.
Iridium s crosslinked mesh architecture creates a web of coverage encompassing 100 of the planet from low earth orbit providing low latency weather resilient services unlike any other satellite provider.
With communications solutions ranging from satellite phones to broadband terminals iridium is trusted by more than a million mariners pilots humanitarians first responders and governments around the world.
Iridium ground stations interconnect the satellite network with land based fixed or wireless infrastructures worldwide to improve availability.
Iridium satellite frequency description between two iridium satellites 23 18 to 23 38 ghz between iridium phone terminal and iridium satellite l band in the range from 1621 35 to 1626 5 mhz used for both uplink and downlink.
Station to station calls from one satellite phone to another can be routed directly through space without going through a ground station.
Iridium certus is the new advanced multi service platform enabled by the upgraded iridium constellation.
