PROJECT STARDUST
A New Era of Satellite Connectivity
Iridium NTN Direct℠ will connect people and assets through the world’s first truly global 5G Narrowband IoT Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) service using Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards.
Born from Iridium’s Project Stardust initiative, Iridium NTN Direct offers developers an opportunity to shape the future with reliable, low-latency, weather-resilient connections.
Why Iridium Will Revolutionize Non-Terrestrial Networks
Superior Reliability.
Iridium possesses the only mobile voice and data SATCOM network that covers the entire planet. Our constellation of 66 Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites converges at both poles—connecting people and devices in regions and challenging landscapes geostationary (GEO) satellite networks can’t reach.
Iridium’s L-band spectrum is globally coordinated by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and offers resiliency ideal for emergency/SOS services.
Outstanding Performance. Real Collaboration.
Iridium's satellite crosslinks allow lower latency—in other words, quicker connections—than many small-satellite networks.
Work alongside Iridium’s engineers, business development teams, and our licensed partners at every stage of development to create connectivity solutions.
