The IRIDIUM system
|
|
|
The IRIDIUM system is changing the way the world communicates as the first
|
|
truly global, personal, satellite-based telecommunications system providing
|
|
communications via hand-held wireless telephones and pagers.
|
|
It will revolutionize communications for business professionals, travelers,
|
|
residents of rural or undeveloped areas, disaster relief teams, and others who
|
|
need the features and convenience of a wireless hand-held telephone with a
|
|
single worldwide number.
|
|
Subscribers will use hand-held IRIDIUM telephones transmitting through digital
|
|
facilities to communicate with any other telephone in the world.
