Beam Communications Pty Ltd

Friday, 03 July, 2015

Melbourne-based Beam Communications has been appointed an official service provider for the Iridium Push-to-Talk satellite communications service.

Iridium PTT comprises three components: the Iridium PTT service delivered through the Iridium Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation; the Iridium Command Centre, the cloud-based management system where all radios and talkgroups are managed; and the Iridium PTT radios, including both the Iridium Extreme PTT as well as other satellite or hybrid PTT devices.

Iridium PTT works with Iridium’s existing constellation and is compatible with Iridium NEXT, the company’s next-generation satellite constellation, which is scheduled to begin launching in late 2015 and to be completed in late 2017.
