Iridium CertusSM
AST INTEGRA connected for the smartest communication solution
For decades, the maritime industry lacked truly global coverage and had only one real choice for L-band connectivity at sea. With the introduction of Iridium Certus℠, a cutting-edge alternative has arrived. Iridium Certus, a new mobile broadband capability off ered by AST, delivers the most reliable service, combined with the highest L-band speeds, to any place on earth – finally off ering a real choice and superior connectivity alternative regardless of location, terrain or weather.
Available as a standalone broadband solution or as a VSAT companion, Iridium Certus is compatible with AST’s intelligent global IP network and value added services including the INTEGRA suite of application control and data management capabilities.
Off ering a high-performing, competitively priced solution that features state-of-the-art technology, Iridium Certus is designed to meet the needs of the ‘connected ship.’ Operating on small form factor terminals with solid-state, active-array antennas, the service enables more eff icient business operations, cost-eff ective crew welfare solutions and safety communications, while providing a pole-to-pole, truly global grid for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Iridium Certus℠ from ASTIridium CertusSM is the new multi-service platform powered by the $3 billion Iridium NEXT satellite system. With uncompromising coverage and a range of speeds up to 1.4 Mbps, it delivers global, reliable, enterprise-grade services while redefining the capabilities of mobile satellite communications. Through Iridium Certus, we’re making broadband truly mobile.

GLOBAL COVERAGE - the overlapping mesh architecture of the network provides uniform coverage across the globe, including the polar regions.
RELIABLE SERVICE - satellites are in Low-Earth Orbit (800 km), so signals travel in 1/40 the time of geostationary satellites, resulting in low-latency, high-speed, always-on connections.
COST EFFECTIVE - lower cost equipment and better value airtime without long contracts and high-cost services. Save even more when combined with the power of AST INTEGRA Control.
ROBUST TERMINALS - rapidly deployable terminals feature simple, reliable omni-directional antennas that provide service anywhere on the planet in all weather conditions.
GMDSS READY - launching in early 2020, the new GMDSS voice and data solutions will provide improved Search & Rescue (SAR) functionalities enabled by our dependable, global network.
SCALABLE - whether used as a standalone service or as part of an overall satellite communications solution, Iridium Certus can be scaled to meet the growing needs of your business.
FASTEST L-BAND SPEEDS - with speeds of up to 704kbps (increasing to 1.4Mbps), the service delivers the highest L-band speeds available, ideal as a standalone solution or VSAT companion.
