Iridium 9555 User Manual

Connecting the world
like no other
Iridium satellite phones use the power of the world’s furthest reaching network to provide reliable, truly global mobile communications. Together Iridium Extreme® and Iridium 9555 put more innovative capability—and more ways to connect—into the hands of people everywhere.
Iridium satellite phones are built with the same reliable voice and data capability that users have come to trust from the only truly global mobile satellite communications company in the world. No other handsets deliver two-way coverage over the Earth’s entire surface, including across oceans, airways and polar regions.
The truly global advantage
Iridium relies on the unique cross-linked architecture of its global constellation of 66 Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites to provide inherent advantages in satellite phone performance and dependability, everywhere on the planet.
Each Iridium satellite is linked to four others—two in the same orbital plane and one in each adjacent plane—creating a dynamic network in space that routs traffic among satellites to ensure a continuous connection. On the ground, Iridium’s extensive interconnected infrastructure ensures high reliability through multiple layers of redundancy and back-up systems for all critical functions.
This configuration allows the Iridium network to remain unaffected by natural disasters, including hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes that can cripple terrestrial networks and wireless infrastructure.
In touch and on the go
Iridium satellite phones are the ultimate in dependable mobile communications. Iridium’s omni-directional antenna design allows users to connect to the network anywhere there is an open view of the sky—giving them the flexibility to talk and move freely, everywhere.
At only 476 miles from the Earth, the proximity of Iridium’s network provides the lowest latency of voice and data communications, the shortest registration time, and the lowest communication delays of all Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) providers. Iridium’s worldwide flat voice and data rates also offers users the convenience of predictable and affordable costs, no matter where they go.
Ready for what comes next
Anticipated to begin launching in 2015,
game-changing reality.
Iridium’s next generation satellite
constellation will deliver backward
compatibility and ongoing support for
Iridium handsets—ensuring longevity
and security of users’ purchase for
decades to come.
A range of critical, reliable lifelines
From government and military operations, to business and recreational use, Iridium has every customer segment covered with a range of handset options tailored to their specific needs and price points.
Iridium Extreme® is the toughest, most feature rich satellite phone on the market. It is ruggedly engineered to support high frequency users in the harshest conditions, everywhere.
Iridium 9555 is compact, lightweight, and easy to use—with an amazingly intuitive interface and a sleek design. Whether it is for leisure or emergency situations, Iridium 9555 simply works.
Other unique Iridium products include the military-sanctioned Iridium 9505A US and a variety of General Service Administration (GSA) phones for U.S. government-compliant purchases.
Unmatched features and capabilities
Iridium satellite phones are enhanced with more innovative features and services than any other. Along with global voice and data communications, Iridium also offers two-way SMS and email, free online messaging, and cost-saving +1 and two-stage dialing platforms that connect inbound calls through a U.S. number to any Iridium handset around the globe.
Taking capability to the extreme, Iridium Extreme® is the first handset to offer fully integrated customizable GPS, online tracking and one-touch emergency SOS—designed to enhance business efficiencies, improve military and emergency response, track critical assets, or simply keep family and friends up-to-date. No other phone lets you take so much with you in hand, all over the world.

Every package comes fully loaded with a leather case, a travel charger with international adapters, a magnetic vehicle mount antenna, and more.
