From sending updates and checking weather information to contacting family, colleagues, or response teams, these portable hotspots help keep essential communications available when conventional networks are under pressure or completely offline.

Keep Essential Communications Available When It Matters Most
The Iridium GO! and Iridium GO! exec are valuable additions to an emergency communications plan because they provide connectivity independently of local terrestrial networks. If cellular service, broadband, or landlines become unavailable, the devices can create a local Wi-Fi connection for compatible phones, tablets, and other equipment using the Iridium satellite network.
The Iridium GO! is well suited to essential voice, messaging, location, and weather services, while the GO! exec offers greater data capability for email, supported messaging apps, and other important online communications. Compact enough to store with emergency supplies and portable enough to move wherever they’re needed, both devices are useful for households, businesses, response teams, remote facilities, and organizations preparing for communications outages.

Compact, rugged and IP65-rated, it’s a practical choice for camping, boating, expeditions, remote work and emergency preparedness where basic connectivity matters more than high-speed internet.

Yes. Multiple compatible devices can connect over Wi-Fi, making one unit useful for a family, small team, or temporary command point. Satellite bandwidth is limited, so during an emergency it’s best to prioritize essential messaging, calls, weather information, and important updates.
It depends on what you need. The Iridium GO! is a strong option for straightforward voice, messaging, GPS, and weather services. The GO! exec gives you more capable data connectivity and support for services such as email and selected messaging apps, which can be particularly useful for businesses and response teams that need to exchange more information.
Test it before you need it. Make sure the unit is charged, learn where it gets the best view of the sky, connect your devices, and make a test call or send a message. It’s also worth storing important phone numbers and contact details offline so you can access them even if your usual apps or internet services aren’t available.
