“Simply flip up the integrated antenna and the battery-powered unit connects quickly and automatically to the Iridium low-Earth orbit satellite constellation to extend the functionality of the mobile devices. It’s possible to connect and operate up to five devices within this area using the Iridium GO!^® application on each device, “ he said.

Iridium GO!^® supports a range of global communications, including: voice calling, SMS, email, social networking, photo sharing and SOS Alert and Tracking capabilities.

It can be carried, easily stowed in a backpack or mounted in vehicles and for use in possibly any mobile applications.”
