The Iridium 9555 satellite phone is an improved and refined version of the previous Iridium Motorola 9505A satellite phone model. The new model features lower weight, smaller size, and a high degree of protection. But the main advantage over its predecessor is the presence of a USB interface, which allows using the phone as a modem (dial-up) for data transmission (speed 2.5 kbps). Previously, purchasing an expensive DataKit set was required for such functionality. This phone does not display pictures, you cannot listen to music or play games on it — it is designed to make and receive calls always and everywhere, without any exceptions. And now also with the ability to transmit data.
The Iridium 9555 has a simple interface, and therefore is easy to operate. Compared to previous Iridium models, this phone has a brighter display and a wider range of capabilities for working with email and SMS. Of course, all the best features from predecessors have been preserved, including the main advantage of Iridium communication — truly global coverage (100% of the Earth's surface). With it, you can make calls on any continent, whether it's Australia or the North Pole. Expeditions, rescue operations, US military — all these extremely demanding customers choose Iridium to ensure communication in any conditions.
Iridium 9555 can be connected to the Iridium Tracking service.
