About the Iridium 9575 Extreme Satellite Phone

PLEASE NOTE: THE SIM CARDS PROVIDED CAN ONLY BE USED WITH IRIDUM SATELLITE PHONES

The Iridium 9575 Extreme is lighter and smaller than its predecessor the 9555. Not only does the 9575 Extreme offer Iridium's global coverage for voice, data and SMS but it is the first satellite phone to offer the fully integrated services of customizable GPS, online tracking and emergency SOS with notification services. (additional contract required for tracking services.)

The Iridium 9575 Extreme satellite phone comes with:

AC Wall Charger and Plug Kit, Antenna, Portable Auxiliary, Antenna Adapter, DC Charger, Auto Accessory, Hands-Free Headset, User Guide, Quick Start Guide, Holster, Battery, Rechargeable Li Ion, USB to Mini USB Cable, Data CD, Pre-paid & Post-paid SIM cards

The Iridium 9575 Extreme is the most advanced satellite phone currently available. Other features of the handset include a IP65 rating which means the 9575 Extreme is dust proof, shock resistant and jet water resistant. It is also the first handset to offer military-grade 810F durability. Another first for satellite phones is the introduction of Iridium AxcessPoint. This allows you to set up your Iridium 9575 Extreme as a Wi-Fi hotspot

Iridium’s most compact handset to date, Iridium Extreme is enhanced with more features than ever:

Satellite Voice Capability Using Iridium’s global satellite network, the Extreme 9575 allows you to make and receive phone calls anywhere in the world. The phone offers an integrated speakerphone and hands-free capability through a headset included as standard in our Extreme 9575 phone kit.

SMS and Email Messaging The Iridium 9575 Extreme is SMS and email enabled, allowing you to stay in touch and share experiences with others anywhere in the world. SMS and email messaging is limited to 160 characters and delivery/receipt is dependent on compatibility with local mobile network carriers.

Data Tethering Connect the Iridium 9575 Extreme to your laptop via USB cable to email, surf the web and stay connected using the only truly global communications network. Satellite phone data speeds are typically very slow so we recommend using the phone for basic data connections. We recommend using the RedPort Optimizer and our compression software, SpeedMail, to enhance your data connection experience.

SOS Emergency Button The Iridium Extreme 9575 is equipped with a programmable emergency button that activates critical, rapid response when you need it most. It is the only satellite phone currently available with emergency services supported by GEOS Emergency Response Center, included at no additional cost.

GPS Positioning The Iridium Extreme 9575 is equipped with Location Based Services (LBS) enabling GPS positioning. This allows you pinpoint and share your coordinates from anywhere on the globe.

Jet Water Resistant With a ruggedized IP65 rating, the highest of any satellite phone currently available, the Iridium Extreme 9575 is designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions. It is jet water resistant, shock resistant, dust proof and has a rugged antenna for unparalleled durability.

Online Tracking When used in conjunction with GTCTrack, GTC’s online advanced mapping portal, the Iridium 9575 Extreme offers a variety of advanced tracking functions such as a breadcrumb trails of historic movements, live view (position of last message transmitted) and exact location of SOS and emergency requests. These tracking functions are available with an additional subscription.

Not all mobile networks allow you to send text messages to satellite phones. Please check with your provider.
