Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: IRDM) announced some new Iridium Certus service providers for the maritime industry. Critical to the enablement of the digitalization of shipping, powerhouse Iridium Certus will offer a superior L-band satellite broadband connectivity solution making its service providers invaluable in delivering it to their customers around the world.

With state-of-the-art small form factor terminals, competitive pricing options, and also higher speeds powerhouse Iridium Certus will offer a complete communications platform for all mariners and can serve as a primary service or VSAT companion solution. Together each Iridium Certus service provider brings its own unique set of value-added qualities to the program.

For instance, multiple top notch providers bring expertise and a global reach to the powerhouse Iridium Certus program. This includes a focus on offering standardized services, comprehensive, and customized maritime connectivity solutions.

“Every service provider is crucial to the success of Iridium Certus,” said Wouter Deknopper, vice president and general manager Maritime Line of Business at Iridium. “The addition of service providers not only ensures a smooth upcoming launch for Iridium Certus but also further validates the interest and broad demand for Iridium Certus in the marketplace.”

Commercial service availability for Iridium Certus is planned for 2018. Iridium Certus will be introduced to the market in a series of speed classes. Initial service offering speeds will debut at 352 Kbps and will later be upgradable to 704 Kbps through a firmware upgrade. The service will also support safety services and a range of streaming options. Enabled by Iridium NEXT, the Company’s next-generation $3 billion satellite constellation, powerhouse Iridium Certus will provide higher quality voice capabilities alongside enterprise-grade broadband functionality for the entire planet whether on land, in the air, or at sea. To date there have been seven successful Iridium NEXT launches deploying 65 new satellites. One launch remains before completion of the company’s historic constellation refresh.
