Iridium Edge® Development Kit
The Iridium Edge Demo Kit offers a first-hand look at the value that Iridium Edge and the related Iridium services can deliver. The kit will allow you to quickly evaluate the simple and robust design of the product, while benefiting from Iridium's truly global network and low latency Short Burst Data® service.
The Irdiium Edge enables you to leverage your existing terrestrial-based solutions for fleet management, telematics, safety and other remote monitoring applications by expanding connectivity beyond cellular limits for 100% global IoT coverage.
Rapidly Deployed IoT Solution
Fast time-to-market is a critical need in today’s evolving asset tracking and fleet management environment. Iridium Edge features an all-in-one Short Burst Data(SBD) modem and antenna, with power supply. The plug-and-play satellite IoT device can be easily paired with existing satellite and cellular solutions, without complicated integration or development requirements.
Benefits of the Iridium LEO Satellite Network for IoT/M2M
Iridium Edge inherits the many benefits of the Iridium network, including:
- 100 percent truly global coverage from pole-to-pole
- Provides a stronger, more robust satellite signal compared to GEO constellations
- Shorter transmission path of LEO network results in lower latency and shorter registration time
- Greater flexibility in installation
- Improved line of sight over GEO systems in compromised locations or behind large obstructions
- Overlapping satellite coverage and crosslinks provide redundancy and increased reliability
Key Markets
- Fleet Managemt
- Remote Monitoring
- SCADA
- Asset Tracking
- Maritime
Fleet Management IOT
- Iridium EDGE devices can work with many existing cellular solutions, each with focus on different verticals and geographies
- Iridium is developing partnerships with a variety of cellular manufacturers to allow our partners to bring dual mode solutions to market
- Add-on hybrid dual mode solutions reduces inventory costs, allowing satellite to be at the installation phase
- Proper serial protocol can make a relable hybrid dual mode solution
Remote Monitoring IOT
- Iridium EDGE is an add-on to existing remote monitoring solutions to allow them to be deployed outside cellular coverage
- Easily mounted without a need for difficult, time consuming antenna pointing procedure
- The device can be optionally located inside a controller/junction box for more secure installations

SBD Mailbox Check
Mailbox check is charged when the device sends a 0 byte message to check if there is a message queued at the gateway. These messages are free as long as there is a message queued at the gateway. If the gateway does not have a message queued, there is a $0.05 charge for each check.
SBD Registration
Each device can register on the network once a month. Additional registration events are charged at $0.05 each.
