Bringing Real Choice and Truly Global Coverage to Maritime Safety
Iridium® Global Maritime Distress & Safety System (GMDSS)
FACT SHEET
When GMDSS was initially established more than 20 years ago, only one satellite company was approved to provide these services – and that company did not (and still does not) provide truly global coverage. Further, since the inception of GMDSS, there have been many advances in technology, and the number of vessels at sea has increased dramatically. A reliable, robust, and truly global satellite GMDSS solution is critical – and Iridium is ready to provide that choice to mariners anywhere in the world.
OverviewOver the past 15 years, Iridium and its Value Added Manufacturers have built an impressive track record providing safety and security solutions to mariners around the world. In 2018, the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) officially recognized Iridium as a provider of Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) satellite services, ending a decades-long monopoly. For the first time, Iridium will bring competition and truly global coverage to mariners sailing any of the world’s oceans.
Partner EcosystemThrough an expansive value-added partner network of industry-leading technology companies, Iridium is advancing the way mariners communicate and connect to critical safety services. As Iridium works with its partners to develop GMDSS solutions, the new competition is expected to drive supplier diversity and reduce the costs of shipboard equipment.
The Iridium AdvantageCapability: All Iridium Connected® GMDSS terminals will come standard with functionality for all three satellite GMDSS services: Distress Alert, Safety Voice, and Maritime Safety Information (MSI). Unlike existing competitive options, Iridium Connected GMDSS terminals will initiate both Distress Alert and Safety Voice simply and quickly with the press of just one button.
Coverage: The Iridium network is designed to work in extreme conditions at sea. Our unique constellation connects 66 cross-linked satellites in Low-Earth Orbit, providing reliable coverage even in adverse weather around the entire globe, including over the Arctic and Antarctic waters in Sea Area A4. This area is considered among the most dangerous places on Earth, but is not currently served by competitive satellite GMDSS solution.
Cost: The initial Iridium Connected GMDSS terminal developed by Lars Thrane (LT-3100S) is expected to supply all three satellite GMDSS services at approximately 25 percent of the cost of the current equipment required to supply all three services. Providing GMDSS at a reduced, more affordable cost will allow more vessels to install GMDSS terminals and access life-saving services.

EquipmentIridium GMDSS services with improved Search & Rescue functionalities will initially be available through a single, small-form-factor maritime terminal. The Iridium Connected® GMDSS device developed by Lars Thrane will integrate all three satellite GMDSS services at what is expected to be a fraction of the existing cost of competitive options, and it will be the first solution to offer truly global GMDSS services.The existing Iridium CertusTM maritime terminals, Cobham SAILOR 4300 and Thales VesseLINK, are GMDSS-compatible. These terminals will require supplemental below-deck hardware from their manufacturers to enable Iridium GMDSS services.
