The Iridium Certus 9770 is currently in beta testing and is expected to be released by the end of Q2 2021.
Iridium Certus 9770 Transceiver
The Iridium CertusTM 9770 transceiver is an Iridium® core technology component provided to the company’s partner network for the development of cutting-edge products and services. The transceiver provides midband IP data services with L-Band speeds ranging from 22 Kbps transmit to 88 Kbps receive, in addition to high-quality voice connectivity. The size and speed of the device make it ideal for applications requiring richer data transfers, pictures, low-resolution streaming and enhanced telemetry delivered through small-form factor antennas and terminals.
The small-form factor of the transceiver enables creation of highly mobile and versatile products that are uniquely suited for unmanned and autonomous drones, remotely deployed IoT devices and personal communicators. It can also serve as an embedded technology used by original equipment manufacturers serving aviation, maritime, land-mobile and government industries to ensure assets remain connected from pole to pole.
Like all Iridium transceivers, the Iridium Certus 9770 features truly global coverage, low-latency and weather resilient connectivity through the Iridium satellite constellation’s unique Low-Earth Orbit architecture of 66 crosslinked satellites.

Iridium Global Coverage Map
Iridium delivers essential communications services to and from remote areas where no other form of communication is available. Powered by a uniquely sophisticated global constellation of 66 cross-linked Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, the Iridium® network provides high-quality voice and data connections over the planet’s entire surface, including across airways, oceans, and polar regions. Together with its ecosystem of partner companies, Iridium delivers an innovative and rich portfolio of reliable solutions for markets that require truly global communications.
At only 780 kilometers from the Earth, the proximity of Iridium’s LEO network means pole-to-pole coverage, a shorter transmission path, stronger signals, lower latency, and shorter registration time than with GEO satellites. In space, each Iridium satellite is linked to up to four others creating a dynamic network that routes traffic among satellites to ensure global coverage, even where traditional local systems are unavailable.
