More Voice

Faster Data

Iridium OpenPort utilizes true IP technology to provide a flexible and powerful array of data services. A single Ethernet port provides a connection to a standard PC or to a router or hub for multiple PCs. Choose from a range of configurable data rates to meet your specific requirements. Engineered for simultaneous functionality, data and phone ports support high-volume usage. Iridium OpenPort’s simplified service plan replace expensive and wasteful per-minute pricing with more cost-effective per-megabyte rates.

It can be mounted in any convenient location on deck for quick, easy and inexpensive installation. The lower capital expenditure and airtime costs add up to a faster return on investment.
