Built for Demanding Environments

With an IP65 rating, the Iridium Extreme is resistant to dust, shock, and jet water exposure, making it suitable for use in harsh outdoor conditions. It was also the first satellite handset to achieve military-grade 810F durability standards, providing dependable performance where conventional communications devices may fail.

Global Satellite Voice Communications

Powered by the Iridium satellite constellation, the Iridium Extreme enables voice calls from virtually anywhere on Earth. The handset supports integrated speakerphone functionality and hands-free operation via the included headset, helping users stay connected wherever their work or adventures take them.

SMS and Email Messaging

The Iridium Extreme supports SMS and email messaging, allowing users to exchange important updates when operating beyond cellular coverage. Messages are limited to 160 characters and delivery is dependent on compatibility with the recipient's mobile network or email service.

Data Connectivity

The handset supports low-speed satellite data services. For the best experience, we recommend using XGate Satellite Email & Data Services, which are specifically designed to optimise satellite data performance and improve reliability. While alternative connections may function, they may not deliver consistent results and can consume airtime without providing the expected service.

SOS Emergency Assistance

The Iridium Extreme features a programmable SOS button that can be configured to initiate an emergency response when required. This capability provides an additional layer of safety for users operating in remote or hazardous environments.

GPS Positioning and Location Sharing

Integrated GPS functionality allows users to obtain, display, and share precise coordinates from virtually anywhere in the world. The Iridium Extreme supports location-based services and tracking applications, helping organisations monitor personnel and assets in the field.

Rugged, Water and Dust Resistant Design

Engineered for demanding environments, the Iridium Extreme combines an IP65-rated enclosure with a rugged antenna design to withstand exposure to dust, shock, and jet water. Its robust construction makes it one of the toughest satellite phones available today.

Online Tracking

When paired with OSAT Track, the Iridium Extreme can transmit GPS positions to an online mapping platform, providing access to live location updates, breadcrumb trails, historical movement records, and SOS event monitoring. Tracking functionality is available through a separate subscription.

Quick Question: how can a vessel owner be sure Iridium equipment satisfies regulatory requirements?

Iridium extreme satellite phone has obtained recognition from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and a Letter of Compliance from IMO’s regulator, the International Mobile Satellite Organization (IMSO).
