The Iridium 9603 is the world’s smallest SBD transceiver, designed to provide and streamline fast global communication solutions. It’s designed for use in applications in conditions where connectivity is critical over long distances.
It’s only one-fourth of the size of its predecessor, the Iridium 9602 – the refined 9603 combines global coverage of the global LEO Iridium satellite constellation with the low latency of the two-way Short Burst Data service in order to provide highly reliable and fast satellite communications all over the planet, from pole to pole.
Delivering two-way communications on a remarkable scale, the Iridium 9603 transceiver further expands the Iridium connected user base worldwide. How it Works A single-board, Iridium-built core transceiver, the Iridium Connected 9603 transceiver comes in ‘black box’ format. All device interfaces are provided through a single multi-pin interface connector and antenna connector, with additional end-user field application functions (GPS, microprocessor-based logic control, digital and analog inputs and outputs, power supply and antenna) provided by the solution developer.
