Learn more about Iridium Certus offerings
Portable LEO services offer higher speeds, but Iridium Certus L-band service is engineered for reliability: it maintains connectivity in weather and terrain conditions that can degrade Ku/Ka-band links, uses smaller antennas, and carries committed service levels — which is why many operations run Certus alongside Starlink or VSAT.
Check out Iridium Certus use cases
Yes. Certus is widely deployed as an out-of-band backup and companion to VSAT networks. If the primary link degrades or fails, traffic fails over to Certus automatically, keeping safety, monitoring, and critical business applications online.
