Problem
Critical systems such as 5G networks, financial exchanges, aviation, maritime navigation, and government infrastructure require continuous, accurate positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) data. Traditional GNSS services can be unavailable or degraded by indoor environments, signal blockage, jamming, or spoofing, leading to operational risk and downtime.
Solution
Iridium PNT delivers precise PNT data worldwide by leveraging a cross‑linked low‑Earth‑orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. The network broadcasts high‑powered signals that penetrate indoor spaces, dense urban canyons, maritime environments, and the air, ensuring continuous service even during GNSS outages or interference. Data are transmitted securely to user terminals and can be accessed via cloud APIs or integrated directly into hardware, providing a resilient primary or backup source for timing and location. An upcoming Iridium PNT ASIC will enable ultra‑compact, low‑power integration for embedded devices, extending resilience to edge and autonomous systems. The service is offered on a subscription basis with flexible hardware options to match diverse deployment needs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operators of critical infrastructure—5G network providers, data centers, stock exchanges, aviation and maritime fleets, autonomous vehicle manufacturers, and government agencies responsible for national‑level PNT resilience.
