Layer Presence.
Iridium is the only truly global satellite voice and data network (polar coverage including Arctic/Antarctic where geostationary satellites cannot reach). Iridium NEXT constellation (launched 2017-2019) has an estimated 15-year lifespan. IoT/machine-to-machine messaging via Short Burst Data (SBD) and Iridium Certus broadband are growth verticals. Recurring subscription revenue provides stable FCF. Risk: limited bandwidth versus Starlink/OneWeb for high-throughput broadband; ASTS direct-to-device competition in mobile segment.
