THE IRIDIUM SATELLITE NETWORK The Iridium satellite network is comprised of 66 Low-Earth Orbiting (LEO), cross-linked satellites, providing voice and data coverage over Earth’s entire surface.
- Page 14 MissionLINK system. ™ A MissionLINK voice or data call is sent to the closest satellite overhead that has a high signal strength. The traffic is then routed through the satellite network to a Ground Station or Gateway. At the gateway, traffic is converted back to internet protocol (IP) and voice, depending on call type and delivered to the IP cloud or the public switched telephone network (PSTN).
- Page 15 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ™ ™ The MissionLINK system operates using Iridium Certus broadband services over a network of 66 satellites that cover 100% of the globe, including remote locations and the poles. The solution utilizes this robust network service to provide highly reliable, mobile and essential voice, text and web communications.
- Page 16 Least Cost Routing automatically routes the data to an optional, lower cost network (i.e., cellular, Wi-Fi, etc.). x Custom Thales softphone application available from the Apple Store and Google Play for use on iOS and Android devices. x Low profile, IP66 rated antenna with single RF cable to the Terminal Unit (TU).
