Iridium Certus is optimized for all aspects of shipboard operations, from simple email to the complex management of onboard sensor systems. Certus provides a superior backbone for crew welfare, messaging, and phone calls. Vessels with VSAT systems can supplement service with the powerful hybrid solutions available through Iridium for areas where VSAT is challenged by congestion, coverage, or regulations. Iridium Certus is also an excellent choice for commercial fishing operations.

It’s able to handle catch information, monitor weather, and communicate across fleets in any region of the world. Large catch processors with VSATs can augment their existing platforms with the global coverage of the Iridium network, which extends far beyond existing VSAT footprints.

In addition, yachts, sailboats, and other recreational vessels can now benefit from the global connectivity, high quality, and value of Iridium Certus’s high-speed L-band connectivity. Research vessels, scientific ships, seismic ships, coast guard cutters, ice breakers, and other government ships also rely on the Iridium network for low-latency communications around the world.
