1.5 Where it Works
Unlike other satellite systems, the Iridium satellite network is located in a low
polar orbit, giving the system complete global coverage.
Their relatively low altitude (780 km) means that they are situated close to
transmitting modems and, therefore, require less transmission energy.
Additionally, the Iridium network consists of 66 satellites in 11 planes with an
