7 Data Connection Services

Some data connection services exist for Iridium subscribers. These services are briefly

described below.

Iridium's Direct Internet Data Service allows users to connect directly to the Internet via

the Iridium gateway. While users are not required to load any special software onto

their computer to connect, they will find additional compression and speed benefits from

installing the Direct Internet accelerator. However, the service utilizes standard dial-up

networking and has been shown to work with a variety of operating systems. Direct

Internet software and documentation may be found on:

3) Your local Iridium Service Provider

With RUDICS, you can establish a direct connection between a device connected to the

Iridium modem in the field and a program running on your server back home. The

program listens on a port number that you register with the gateway. Any time that the

modem dials into the gateway using the RUDICS phone number, a socket connection is

established between the gateway and your program. Any bytes that you write to the

modem show up on the socket and can be read by the program.
