Iridium Satellite has unveiled its smallest, most powerful satellite phone - the Iridium 9555. It offers a significantly reduced size, a more hand-friendly form factor and internally stowed antenna. It is 27 percent lighter and 30 percent smaller than 9505A handset.
Featuring a brighter screen with an intuitive user interface, it also offers a speaker phone, improved SMS and email capabilities, and an upgraded mini-USB data port.
The phone is water and shock-resistant and is engineered to withstand and perform well in the most rugged, remote and industrial environments.
"The 9555 is yet another example of our continuing investment in our products, services and infrastructure," said Don Thoma, executive vice president, marketing, Iridium. "In designing the 9555, we believe we have responded to our customers' needs.”
The 9555 handset will be available from Iridium service partners starting in November 2008.
