Guardian Mobility is expanding the firm’s product line and has received Iridium certification for both of the company’s G6 and G6-S terminals.
According to the company, the G6 is the world’s first and only truly mid-band, bi-directional, 88/88 Kbps terminal in an all-in-one design. The terminal ensures maximum user experience in end-to-end connectivity.
The G6-S terminal (photo below) features the same capabilities and features, but allows for an external antenna configuration and is specifically aimed at the UAV/Drone and fixed-wing high-altitude market.
Certification allows for the G6 Certus® products and services to operate on the Iridium NEXT constellation, enabling faster global connectivity. The transmission speed of 88 kbps is four times the speed of any other Certus® 100 competitor and, therefore, offers video and imagery services.
Guardian has invested in a unique network architecture to provide automated airtime/billing services and secure, reliable communications from any location.
“We can support applications such as live video, automated flight following, real-time images, health monitoring, and more while significantly lowering operational costs,” said Guardian Mobility COO Stephane Momy. “This product fills a gap in the mobile satellite communications market with the optimal bandwidth for its size, weight, and power.”
Guardian serves the aviation, military, government, and other market segments with a simple procurement process and straightforward customer service. Airtime and service packages are customizable to fit individual needs, and an existing product suite featuring FDM, tracking, and communication capabilities is available.
