By GlobalDataIridium CEO Matt Desch said: “This new breed of device is the start of a shift in what defines small-form-factor satellite communications technology.
“These are highly mobile, lower-cost solutions that feature native IP technology at speeds capable of delivering a true internet, email, high-quality voice, photo and even some video capabilities.
“When you combine that with our truly global coverage, we’re creating a cost-effective and reliable ecosystem of new products in a new L-band speed class, mid-band, that is unlike anything that exists from the satellite community today.”
