New Iridium 9555 Hand-Held Portable Satellite Phone
The New Iridium 9555 Hand-Held Portable Satellite Phone was just unveiled as the newest addition to the dependable Iridium product line.
Iridium, known for its excellent network reliability, is the only provider of truly global satellite voice and data communications solutions with complete coverage of the entire earth including oceans, airways, and even Polar Regions. The Iridium handset can be used in some of the most remote and harsh regions of the world; from jungles, deserts and mountains, to off-shore oil rigs and ships at sea.
When telecommunications infrastructure is compromised, or cellular, landline or radio services are inoperable because of natural or man-made disasters, the Iridium phones are the only handsets that can be used in any location; in any condition. The Iridium 9555 is vital for any client who desires reliable, secure, global communications such as emergency personnel and public safety, government and defense agencies, aeronautical, maritime, utilities and many more.
The Iridium 9555 satellite phone sports a sleek, new, hand-friendly handset that is closer in size to the traditional cell phone. It offers a compact and light weight design which makes it 30% smaller, and 27% lighter than its predecessor the Iridium 9505A Handset making it ideal for hikers, mountaineers, sailors, pilots, and outdoor enthusiasts of all types.
The Iridium 9555 is extremely user-friendly and its design includes a menu-driven interface. Ease of navigation and flexible menu choices are utilized through soft keys.
