Precision control for heavy duty equipment
Reliable connectivity is the operating fabric of the heavy equipment industry. A continuous flow of data protects field assets, strengthens legal posture, and ensures accurate billing while supporting transparent customer relationships with minimal friction and churn.But heavy equipment demand often exists where networks disappear, letting machines fall into coverage gaps and run their heaviest duty cycles unmonitored. As a result, equipment lessors and OEMs may miss early signs of contract violations or SLA issues, eroding margins and customer trust.Iridium helps eliminate these blind spots by connecting valuable assets through our truly global satellite network, giving businesses the confidence of always-on visibility and the full value of ubiquitous connectivity
Orchestrating high-value assets far off the grid
Usage-based revenue models demand clarity, not estimates or assumptions. High-value equipment deserves confident oversight, helping businesses stay ahead of risks such as theft, revenue leakage, diminishing residual value, and growing safety or liability exposure.
When connectivity becomes business value
Connecting equipment through our network helps turn fragmented telemetry and customer data into one reliable source. It enables faster risk detection, better decisions, improved asset usage, and new business opportunities.With accurate data such as engine hours, fuel status, location, motion, and equipment health, businesses can improve billing accuracy, reduce theft, speed up redeployment, and move toward predictive maintenance. It also helps build customer trust through clear reporting, uptime visibility, and performance-based service models for off-grid markets.
Small message sizes, big business impact
For industrial use cases, we offer two ultra-efficient data services, optimized for power-constrained assets, cloud-native ingress, and total cost transparency. 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 or file transfers.
