Using your computer and an
Iridium satellite phone,
you can connect to the Internet or a corporate network from
anywhere in the world, allowing you to browse the web,
send and receive email and transfer files. You can configure your
computer for two different types of data calls, depending on your
needs: Dial-Up Data or Direct Internet Data.
Dial-Up Data
|
| Dial-Up Data Service provides dial-up
connectivity from a PC, through your Iridium phone to another
computer, a corporate network/LAN or an Internet Service
Provider (ISP). This service offers a data rate of up to 2.4
Kbps. |
Direct Internet Data
|
Direct Internet Data Service provides
connectivity from a PC, through your Iridium phone, directly
to the Internet through dedicated servers at the Iridium
gateway. This service utilizes transparent compression,
resulting in a data rate of up to 10 Kbps, depending on
content. (Graphics and images will result in lower
throughput).
