Iridium Next Generation LEO Satellite Seamless Communication Coverage.
Iridium Satellite Company: Globally operating 66 low-earth orbit satellites in the L-Band and certified by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) for the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress Safety System). These satellites can maintain normal satellite communication operations even in harsh marine weather conditions. The new generation of Iridium satellites can replace the old INMARSAT maritime satellite system established in 1979, ushering in an era of maritime data and carbon emission applications for various types of vessels.

In January 2019, the U.S. company SpaceX successfully launched 66 low-Earth orbit communication satellites, creating a global satellite network. This achievement also ushered in a new era of data software applications for various types of vessels.
Between 2016 and January 2019, Iridium Satellite Company in collaboration with SpaceX deployed the most advanced satellite constellation, replacing the old Iridium satellite communication system that was established in 1998.
The new Iridium satellite system is called Iridium Next Generation Satellites.
