About Iridium
®
Iridium satellites are the pioneers of communications satellites, with coverage spanning the North and South Poles and every inch of land, sea and sky in between.
Are you still dealing with one-way devices, spotty coverage, or delayed messages that make you wonder if your messages are getting through?
Thousands of people are now making irreplaceable connections through Iridium Satellite, and you can too!
Iridium uses the L-Band frequency band, which is less susceptible to weather and environmental impact than Ka and Ku Band. Therefore, it is one of the satellite rescue communication systems designated by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and IMO (International Maritime Organization).
N3D is Iridium VAR
N3D is the only Iridium Value Added Reseller (VAR) in Taiwan. We not only provide Iridium satellite communication services but also assist many domestic industrial products in applying Iridium satellite communication technology.
How Does Iridium Cover the Entire Earth?

The Iridium constellation consists of a fully meshed network of 66 low-earth orbiting (LEO) cross-linked satellites, and 9 in-orbit spares ready to replace any unserviceable satellite. This is how Iridium ensures that every region on the globe is always covered by at least one satellite.
Iridium satellites orbit at an altitude of 485 miles, circling the earth once every 100 minutes, travelling at 16,832 miles per hour. Each satellite is cross-linked to four other satellites: two satellites in the same orbital plane and two in an adjacent plane. These links create a dynamic network in space, where messages are transmitted between Iridium satellites, making it resilient to natural disasters, ground-independent, and establishing a highly secure and reliable link.
