The MissionLINK 700 — developed by Thales in partnership with Iridium Communications — is a best‑in‑class satellite communications terminal designed for global land‑mobile, on‑the‑move and fixed‑site applications. It offers full pole‑to‑pole coverage via the Iridium Certus® 700 broadband service, enabling critical voice and data communications wherever the mission takes you.
— Features —
Global connectivity: Works across the entire globe, including polar regions, thanks to Iridium’s constellation of 66 cross‑linked satellites, archive truly global coverage.
Broadband data & voice: Delivers up to 704 kbps downlink and 352 kbps uplink, plus support for up to three simultaneous voice channels .(with streaming capability up to ~ 256 kbps) while delivering broadband data under the Iridium Certus 700 service.
Solid & rugged design: Build for harsh environments, features a high‑gain, electronically‑steered phased‑array antenna (with no moving parts) designed for rugged, on‑the‑move and mobile installations, and ruggedised terminal components certified to MIL‑STD‑810G (vibration/shock), and IP66/‑IP67 levels for antenna.
Flexible integration: Easily installs in vehicles, fixed sites, or on‑move platforms; supports Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, LAN/WAN ports, and app‑enabled control via Android/iOS, multiple devices can connect wirelessly. Support for multiple network systems / hybrid routing: includes built‑in “preferred routing switch” for integration with terrestrial cellular or other networks.
Mission‑critical features: Includes emergency alerts, tracking/location services, telemedicine support, satellite‑to‑radio gateway capability, and option for streaming IP up to 256 kbps. Support additional services such as, real‑time emergency alerts / distress notifications, location tracking, telemedicine support, cargo/asset monitoring, etc.
— Scenarios —
The MissionLINK 700 is ideal for organisations and operations where connectivity must be truly global, resilient, and always‑on. This includes:
Land‑mobile fleets (armoured vehicles, command posts, utility service vehicles)
Fixed installations in remote or denied areas
On‑the‑move operations in harsh environments or austere geography
Applications requiring simultaneous voice/data, tracking, emergency communications
Advantages:
Dependable coverage: No matter how remote or mobile your operation, you gain access to uninterrupted satellite service.
Future‑proof investment: Built with upgradeable architecture and adaptable integration to support evolving requirements.
Rugged & mobile‑ready: Certified for extreme temperatures, shock, vibration and environmental conditions — made for real‑world mission use.
All‑in‑one connectivity: Combines voice, data, tracking, Wi‑Fi and network‑routing capabilities in a compact, install‑friendly package.
