SOLVING INDUSTRY CHALLENGES WITH GLOBAL VISIBILITY
Trucking pushes into new territory everyday — but the moment a route leaves the reach of cellular towers, visibility breaks down. Blind spots make it harder to maximize utilization, maintain compliance, and keep costs under control.
Global Scalability
With dependable connectivity everywhere your fleet operates, workflows stay consistent across borders, reducing exception costs and eliminating surprise roaming charges.
Global Resilience
Satellite fallback maintains mission-critical connectivity during natural disasters or terrestrial network outages, protecting SLAs and customer commitments.
Stronger Compliance
Continuous tracking data and event logs maintain an unbroken audit trail through cellular coverage gaps, minimizing friction with insurance, customs, and freight billing.
Visibility Without Overspend
We provide satellite failover only when needed, maintaining visibility through cellular gaps while keeping data costs low and fleet operations efficient and uninterrupted.

Engineered to go the Distance
Easy to deploy and easy to manage, Iridium IoT terminals are designed for rapid adoption, accelerating time to value. The Iridium Edge® family of products — Iridium Edge®, Edge® Pro, and Iridium Edge® Solar — offer purpose-built, scalable satellite connectivity right out of the box.
- Compact designs and flexible mounting make Iridium Edge devices quick to install with no complex wiring.
- Low-power and self-powered options support multi-year deployments with minimal maintenance
- Rugged, IP-rated enclosures with 180° line of sight keeps devices performing around obstructions and through extreme temperatures, moisture, vibration, and road grime.
Small Message Sizes, Big Business Impact
For industrial use cases, we offer two proven data services, optimized for power-constrained assets, cloud-native ingress, and two-way connectivity.
- Iridium Short Burst Data® (SBD®) — a simple, cost-efficient packet-based service, ideal for applications relying on frequent transmissions of smaller data packets, like sensor reports or heartbeat messages.
- Iridium Messaging Transport (IMT) — a cloud-integrated service that handles payloads up to 100kB; preferred for applications with larger messages, images, audio or file transfers.
Flexible Developer-Driven Modules
Our ultra-slim modules give developers a simple, reliable path to satellite connectivity. They integrate cleanly into products of any size, add cloud-ready data to existing designs, and streamline new hardware development with a future-proof foundation.
When Connectivity Becomes Business Value
With Iridium as backbone coverage, trucking operations gain continuous visibility, resilient compliance, and tighter control of risk and cost — translating connectivity into stronger margins and self-reinforcing competitive edge.
Ensure Cargo Integrity
Monitor conditions like, temperature/humidity, door events, shock/tilt, and tamper alerts; detect excursions, safeguard sensitive loads from spoilage or damage.
Deter Theft and Diversion
Leverage live location tracking and route adherence alerts for faster response and improved recovery outcomes while reducing loss exposure on high value shipments.
Optimize asset utilization
Reduce dwell time and empty miles, enable faster trailer turns and tighter dispatching with always-on location and status data — and get more revenue miles from the same assets.
Meet Sustainability Demands
Use continuous telemetry to achieve idling reduction, fuel and route optimization, get eco driving insights and ensure accurate emissions accounting across every mile.
Enable Predictive Maintenance
Stream engine hours, fault codes, and key health signals from anywhere; trend anomalies and schedule service proactively to avoid roadside failures and unplanned downtime.
Cut Operational Costs
Minimize check calls, detention fees, and manual rescheduling with improved ETA updates and yard/dock coordination so teams can manage by exception instead of chasing status checks.
