Optimising Iridium performance
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.

Routing Cables:
Use wiring troughs when available, to simplify cable
installation and to provide maximum protection for cables.
If wiring troughs are not available, route cables under the
carpet alongside the drive shaft hump and follow these
guidelines:
> 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.
> Keep all in-line connectors accessible.
