Iridium GO!

The Iridium GO! is a small Wi-Fi hotspot that provides voice telephone service via a Wi-Fi connected smart-phone, and data access.

The Iridium satellite network has a very low bandwidth of just 2.4 kbit per second, this is about 1000 times slower than a smart phone (iPhone or Android) on a 4G network. This slow data speed is not too much of a problem for phone calls but makes data (email) very slow.
Therefore it is highly recommended that you sign up with an email service provider like SailMail who offer an email compression service.

  • The Iridium Go! Works with your preferred Android or Apple mobile device.
  • Avoids those dreaded roaming charges.
  • Is compatible with Android and Apple systems via dedicated Apps downloadable from the Google Play Store and the iStore as appropriate.
  • Connects up to 5 devices, so great for the travelling family and group expeditions as well as the lone traveller.

Iridium GO! at sea

Iridium GO! can easily be installed onboard a boat with the fixed installation kits provides low cost onboard solusion for satellite commincations from your boat.

Equipment on a yacht like solar panels and wind generators can obstruct the view to the satellite, which lead to poor performance or even dropped calls.

It is therefore recommended that if being used on a yacht the Iridium GO marine kit is used and the antenna mounted in the clear with a clear 360 degree view of the sky.
