In establishments that deal with emergencies, being able to connect well on the spot is both crucial and lifesaving. With cases that require immediate assistance, guidance, or even transport, one minute of latency can cost a lot more than one might think.
While connectivity has become the language of the world, there are still many places in the world that are unreachable. Our connectivity networks are based on land infrastructures, and, in many cases, a lot of the countries that need it most wouldn’t have access to it.
As a lot of missions would be directed to those areas, connectivity here needs to go beyond land infrastructure, think satellite.
Iridium GO! exec is a portable wireless access device that enables WiFi connectivity for select messaging, email, social media, weather, light browsing, and even access to two voice lines for calls.
The device can be used directly to make phone calls or used as a connection point on your phone and offers omnidirectional connectivity promoting direct and fast connectivity to the internet.
Think of it this way: Iridium GO! Exec offers you the connectivity of a satellite phone on your regular phone. Satellite communication here is the game-changer because it provides global coverage and accurate remote navigation. Satellite communication is also considered way more resilient due to the minimal possibility of it being affected by the environment or weather.
Offering a compact and lightweight design, Iridium GO! exec weighs less than 2 pounds or one kilogram to truly live up to its portability promise. With an IP65 Rating, the device is dust-tight, water-resistant, and well-prepared for any environment it ends up in enduring all weather extremities.
The device currently has up to 22 Kbps uplink and 88 Kbps downlink in terms of data speed with high-quality voice calls widely and globally supported.
Created with longevity in mind, the Iridium GO! exec boasts a battery life of up to 6 hours of talk time with up to 24 hours on standby.
Iridium GO! exec uses Iridium Certus 100.
Certus 100 offers global coverage and reliable communication through Iridium’s cross-linked satellites that have multiple overlapping spot beams to guarantee that reliability. Because Iridium uses L-band frequency or LEO, Certus 100 can provide resilient reliability that is immune to weather or environmental changes and without any communication gaps.
In addition, the Iridium LEO constellation provides a shorter transmission path with less signal attenuation than GEO, resulting in faster connections.
Complementing the capabilities of the Iridium GO! exec, the mobile app can help turn any smartphone into its satellite device.
The Iridium GO! app is designed with ease of use at its core featuring an intuitive, iconized home screen that allows for seamless one-tap navigation and a step-by-step connectivity guide ensuring users can stay connected effortlessly. Its high-contrast color scheme is optimized for daytime and nighttime use, reducing glare, and enhancing visibility in various lighting conditions.
The app is available on both Apple and Android devices, supporting iOS 6.1 or newer and Android OS 2.3.3 or newer. Additionally, it offers optimized access to essential functions including user management, Wi-Fi control, firewall settings, and Iridium GO! system settings making it a comprehensive tool for managing connectivity on the go.
With a new unlimited data plan on Iridium Go! exec®, small boat owners can avail a low-cost package for maritime satellite internet services with a monthly commitment option, 50 minutes of voice calls included for free, and no unexpected data overconsumption charges.
This new service plan offers unlimited IP data with a special activation credit for subscribers that opt for a 12-month commitment.
