Today Iridium has launched its Iridium Force Vision which it states will ‘Enhance and Expand the Way People and Organizations Connect Everywhere’.  

This has also led to the release of the Iridium Extreme Satellite Phone. Iridium have announced that the Iridium Extreme is the smallest and lightest Iridium handset model, with the ability to precisely locate users anywhere on the surface of the planet.

It meets stringent U.S. Department of Defense Military Standard 810F for durability and is rich in capabilities, featuring the first dedicated, two-way emergency SOS button on a satellite phone. The phone leads the market in its offering of online tracking portals, with fully integrated GPS and location-based service (LBS) capabilities for web-based location identification and tracking of friends, loved ones or employees. Iridium Extreme delivers reliability, safety and peace of mind everywhere.

We will be getting our Iridium Extreme Handsets soon and will review them once we have them.
