Iridium CloudConnect

Iridium CloudConnect

Iridium CloudConnect is the first and only global, cloud-based satellite IoT solution.

In partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Iridium CloudConnect delivers a fast path from device to cloud. Developers and enterprises can extend IoT applications anywhere on Earth without building custom gateways or managing complex integrations.

How It Works


Iridium CloudConnect eliminates the heavy lifting of connecting satellite IoT devices to the cloud.

Seamless Data Flow

Devices send and receive messages through AWS without a custom integration to our Iridium Short Burst Data® (SBD®) gateway.

Secure Transfer

Data moves through private carrier networks and a dedicated connection between Iridium and AWS – not over the public internet. 

Simple Setup

Using cross-account authentication and a lightweight script, customers can stand up the infrastructure quickly.

Standardized Delivery

Device data arrives in JSON format via Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) queues, stored in the customer’s own AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).

Key Advantages

Accelerated Development

Reduce engineering effort and speed up time-to-market with AWS-native integration.

Lower Costs

Eliminate fixed gateway expenses and simplify infrastructure management.

Global Reach

Leverage our unmatched global satellite network and AWS’s scalable, redundant cloud infrastructure.

Future-Ready

New messaging options can be added seamlessly without changing the Iridium CloudConnect interface.

Built-In Security

Dedicated, private Iridium-AWS connection ensures data confidentiality and integrity.
