Satellite service provider Iridium is introducing a new satellite phone and access point that enable communications anywhere on the face of the Earth from Blackberry and Android mobile devices, and will offer support for Apple’s iOS-based gear later this year.
The two new devices enable use of data applications on mobile smartphones and tablets that have Wi-Fi capabilities, and the access point bridges the connection over the Iridium satellite network.
The speed of the data-only connections is 26K to 27Kbps, according to Iridium CEO Matthew Desch, suitable for email and Internet access — via redwolf.newsvine.com
