Iridium Expands Satellite Time and Location Service to Europe and Asia Pacific

Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: IRDM), a provider of global voice and data satellite communications, announced the expanded commercial availability of its Satellite Time and Location (STL) service.

Iridium partners are now authorized to sell the service in parts of Europe and Asia Pacific. The STL service is designed to protect GNSS systems, like GPS and Galileo, with a signal resistant to spoofing and jamming, ensuring the fidelity of timing systems. Iridium STL is capable of service worldwide, with plans for further geographic expansion.

Europe has seen a rise in GPS jamming and spoofing, and parts of Asia are experiencing similar threats. These attacks pose risks to critical infrastructure such as transportation systems, energy grids, data centers, telecommunications networks, and financial services. The Iridium STL service, broadcasting a signal 1,000 times more powerful than GPS, is suited for indoor use without the need for rooftop antennas.

"We're cognizant of the threats facing GNSS-reliant critical infrastructure around the world and our responsibility to deploy the antidote as quickly as possible," said Iridium CEO, Matt Desch.

"The average person is more and more aware of how important systems like GPS are in our day-to-day lives, and when Iridium recently acquired Satelles, I pledged to step on the gas and expand market availability for this increasingly in demand solution. This announcement demonstrates that commitment."

Iridium STL solutions are small, cost-effective, and easy to install. Technology partners are increasing their focus on these expanded markets in Europe and Asia. Their STL solutions can be integrated into existing GNSS-reliant network systems or used as standalone units.

With this expansion, Iridium STL is now available to companies in North America, parts of Europe, and Asia Pacific. Further sales support is expected to meet customer demand.
