TOPIC: RUDICS Airtime Pricing [***]

Iridium has experienced phenomenal growth over the past few years. When we launched the business in 2001, we focused on our core strengths at the time: low-cost satellite voice services and equipment. Shortly thereafter, and in response to market demand, our focus broadened to include satellite data communications. Now, with the emergence of new technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, Iridium has also expanded its reach into other applications and markets through our partnerships with value added developers, resellers and manufacturers. As Iridium’s data offerings enable specialized embedded applications, we are positioning ourselves as a strong competitor in the market for satellite data services. [***]

Iridium’s equipment pricing provides users with a low-cost option for satellite data communications. [***].

If you have any questions please contact your Channel Manager or Global Alliance Manager.

 

Sincerely,
