Description
The satellite Wi-Fi access point Iridium GO transforms your smartphone or tablet into a global communication tool. Based on the Iridium satellite network, it ensures 100% global coverage, pole to pole, allowing you to stay connected even in the most isolated maritime areas. Designed for sailors and expeditions, this compact router (4.5″ x 3.25″ x 1.25″) creates a local Wi-Fi network with a range of approximately 30 meters (802.11g/n standard) to connect your mobile devices.
Connectivity and Safety at Sea
The Iridium GO integrates a dedicated GPS receiver and a physical SOS button, directly configurable with the GEOS emergency coordination center. In addition to voice calls, it optimizes data transfer for maritime applications, allowing you to download weather files or send emails via dedicated compression applications. Its battery life is ensured by a USB rechargeable battery (500mA) in 4 to 5 hours. Unlike traditional portable satellite phones like the Iridium 9555, it offloads the interface to your own screen for modern ergonomics.
Positioning in the Iridium Range
Although the brand has recently introduced the Iridium GO! exec offering superior IP speeds via the Certus network, the standard Iridium GO model remains the most proven and economical solution for essential offshore navigation needs: low-speed weather routing, text messaging, and safety. Its foldable antenna also serves as a power switch, ensuring simple and robust use against the elements of the marine environment.
