Device overview
TheIridium Go! was the first device to enable communication via the Iridium network from a simple smartphone or tablet. It was also the first consumer Iridium terminal to offer unlimited data plans.
Extremely well-designed, compact, lightweight and protected against moisture and shock, the Iridum Go fits in your hand and comes with all the accessories you need to use it.
It's a fully autonomous box, with its rechargeable battery and built-in satellite antenna. This built-in antenna is more than sufficient for most situations (use under the hood, or close to the descent).
Note: A separate optional antenna can be added for permanent installation (contact us)
The Iridium Go comes with a 100-240V mains charger (4 international sockets), a 12-24V cigar-lighter charger and a USB cable for recharging on any standard USB charger. The device also comes with a protective cover and can be mounted on a camera stand by means of an insert screwed onto its rear face. It can also be mounted on an optional wall bracket.
Use
To use the Iridium Go!, you need to have taken out an ad-hoc Iridium subscription (see below).
The device creates a wifi access point to which you can connect your smartphone or tablet (up to 5 clients for data connections, 1 for telephony).
Iridium Go! is operated via two free apps available for iOS and Android :
- the Iridium Go! app(iOS - Android) lets you send/receive phone calls and SMS, and set tracking and SOS parameters (see below).
- the Iridium Mail application(iOS - Android) lets you send/receive e-mails.
Note 1: weather data is generally received via third-party weather applications. We recommend that you use applications that allow you to download weather files directly from the Go (see our guide)
Note 2: satellite communication speeds are very low (2.4kbit/s for the Iridium Go!), which in practice means that you need to send and receive lightweight e-mails. The Mail application allows you to filter and accelerate this process.
SOS function
The Go features an SOS function that can be activated either via a side button, or from the smartphone via the Iridium Go application. Activation of this function triggers the sending of distress messages to a configurable number, or to the specialized GEOS service (now provided by Garmin).
This free service is pre-configured in the Iridium Go app and must be set up before setting off.
GPS Tracking
The device also features an integrated GPS (essential for the SOS function) and the ability to automatically send your position to loved ones.
Iridium Go! can also access the free Navygatio service, which displays your progress on a web page.
Subscriptions: long live unlimited data!
With Iridium Go! it is now possible to take out subscriptions with unlimited data/SMS (which was not the case with previous Iridium terminals). This means you can start a download without worrying about the time taken, as the device resumes the download when a new satellite is passed.
We offer several unlimited data/SMS packages including up to 150min of calls per month, with notime commitment:
- the Iridium Go Flex package offers maximum flexibility: 50 or 150 min included, start any day of the month, possibility of suspending the line for a given period, reduced costs for calls to the boat...
- the Month-to-Date plan also allows you to start on any day of the month, with 150 minutes of unlimited voice and data.
- the Calendar Month package offers the essentials (150 min voice + unlimited data) at a low cost, with the constraint of starting at the beginning of the month.
