Iridium GO! exec™ FAQs
Operation
Where does Iridium GO! exec work?
Iridium GO! exec works anywhere on the surface of the planet with a clear view of the sky.
How can I determine if my range of sight is sufficient to use my Iridium GO! exec?
Iridium GO! exec requires a connection to the Iridium
satellite network. The swivel antenna
®
should be vertical to the ground and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. For optimal
performance, the antenna must be able to "see" the entire sky from approximately 8 degrees
above the horizon. Nearby tall buildings or similar structures, heavily leafed trees, and
mountains can all degrade performance as they block the signal between the antenna and the
satellites. Having a completely open view of the sky plays a very important role in maximizing
performance, as the Iridium satellites move across the sky from the north horizon to the south
horizon or vice versa during a connected call.
