10. Iridium AxcessPoint Web Setup and Use
Iridium AxcessPoint Web utilizes web compression that allows you to browse the Internet using your Iridium
satellite connection. Web content is compressed, background images are stripped, pop‐up ads are removed,
advertisements are stripped, animations are removed, and images are re‐sampled and compressed.
Iridium AxcessPoint Web can reduce the time it takes to download typical web pages by up to a factor of up to
5x. However, browse with caution because the Iridium network is a narrowband connection. The user
experience of web browsing with Iridium AxcessPoint Web is certainly better than browsing without
compression; however, you will realize the greatest performance with email.
Iridium AxcessPoint Web uses Firefox as its preferred web browser. Windows users should install Firefox
before attempting web browsing but may use Internet Explorer with some reduction in performance. Mac
users will automatically be provided with Firefox, and Safari is not supported.
To Browse the Internet
Open Iridium AxcessPoint Mail & Web
Click on <Web> icon to launch a web browser
Click <Yes> to browse with web compression
On the first connection, you will need to enter their username and password
Select <Remember> to avoid having to enter this information in the future.
The default home web page is: www.iridium.com/mobile and provides links to mobile web pages that will
load faster and provide the most optimal browsing experience. You can adjust the level of web browsing
compression from no compression to Maximum compression (default setting). However, less compression or
no compression will require you to be on the Iridium network longer increased usage charges. To properly
disconnect and end a web browsing session with a MAC laptop, hit Command Q to fully close the browser.
