Optimising Signal Quality with the Iridium Network

Iridium is a line-of-sight Satellite network. Conditions that can compromise
the quality of the service you may receive include:
1. Obstructions: Provide the best satellite view for your antenna by
removing all obstructions where possible
2. Cabling: Use the shortest cable length and the fewest number of
connectors on all Iridium certified antenna cable runs
3. RF Interference: Install antenna as far away from other transmitters as
possible.

Route cables so they are protected from pinching, sharp edges,
and crushing
Where possible, avoid routing cables above the catalytic
converter
Use grommets wherever a cable must pass through a hole in a
metal panel
In a vehicle equipped with electronically controlled anti-skid
brakes (ABS), route all cables on the opposite side of the
vehicle from the braking modulator box to minimize any possible
interference.
