Built for the Most Challenging Environments
Key features of the Iridium GO! include its flexibility, Wi-Fi device readiness, app API for developers, and a robust accessory platform. The device boasts a stable, lay-flat design, a flip-up antenna, and a built-in menu/status display, making it easy to use even for first-time users.
Constructed with military-grade (MIL-STD 810F) durability, the Iridium GO! has an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of IP65, ensuring that it is dust-proof, shock-resistant, and jet-water resistant. This rugged design allows the device to withstand harsh conditions and makes it suitable for maritime, aviation, and outdoor use.
The Iridium GO! Satellite Hotspot package includes the Iridium GO! device, a battery, an AC/DC charger, a micro USB cable, and an instruction manual. The device measures 4.5" x 3.25" x 1.25" and weighs 10.14 ounces (295 grams). The battery offers up to 7 hours of talk time and 16 hours of standby time, ensuring you stay connected during your activities.
With the Iridium GO!, you can access voice calling, email, internet, SMS messaging, GPS, and SOS alerts. However, it is important to note that the data network speed of 2.4 kilobits per second is not suitable for regular internet use. Large email attachments and web pages will take minutes or hours to load, so the Iridium GO! should be considered an emergency backup solution for internet connectivity. Nevertheless, the device supports up to 5 connected devices, and applications like SMS text messaging and text-only emails (using their email app) are efficient and practical.

Data Network
- At 2.4 Kilobits per second, the Iridium Go! is not a solution to those looking for workable connection for normal Internet use. Email attachments of any size will take minute or hours to transfer, and a single webpage would take 5 to 10 minutes to load. Connectivity to the Internet with the Iridium Go should be considered an emergency backup solution. Having more than one connected device would create an even worse bottleneck (it allows up to 5 connected devices). The good news is that applications like SMS text messaging and text only email messages (using their email app), use far less data, and are the real shining heroes here. Let's not forget it's also capable of making/receiving a voice call from anywhere the sky can be seen.
