Iridium Messaging Transport (IMT) simplifies the development of satellite IoT services.
Iridium Communications Inc. today revealed the service introduction of Iridium Messaging TransportSM (IMTSM), a two-way cloud-native networked data service enhanced for usage over Iridium Certus ® and designed to make it much easier to include satellite connections to existing or brand-new IoT options.
IMT provides an IP data transport service special to the Iridium ® network, created for small-to-moderate-sized messages supporting satellite IoT applications. Integrated with Iridium CloudConnect and Amazon Web Services (AWS), the brand-new service can lower development expenses and speed time to market for brand-new Iridium Connected ® IoT gadgets. IMT has been extremely anticipated by Iridiums partner environment and is presently readily available for the Iridium Certus 100 service with introduction on Iridium Certus 200, 350 and 700 prepared for the very first quarter of 2023.
As a connectionless messaging service for Iridium CertusTM modules, IMT lines up with current recognized server-device message constructs using centers, Pub/Sub or queues, depending on application platforms. The IMT service can be utilized by a consumer application that is store and forward or has little quantities of data traffic that does not require a persistent connection in between servers, making use of an Iridium Certus terminal. Whether its machine-to-machine (M2M), e-mails, weather condition updates, deals, or group interactions, IMT improves two-way messaging to and from throughout the world.
IMT is used with the Iridium CloudConnect design of server-side message processing, regardless of the underlying over-the-air and ground systems technologies and procedures. The Iridium CloudConnect service integrates Iridium IoT abilities with AWS cloud services extending customers IoT reach to the more than 85 percent of the earth that does not have terrestrial coverage.

Amongst the very first items developed with IMT available are the RockREMOTE by Ground Control and STREAM+ by MetOcean Telematics. The RockREMOTE offers a trusted and versatile service for commercial IoT applications including oil and gas, mining, energies and renewables, and transportation & & freight. It has a built-in MQTT application that allows developers to send and get data payloads throughout the MQTT procedure. Users can send and receive messages, images, to and from throughout the world using this IMT execution over the Iridium Certus 100 service.
Powered by Iridium Certus 100, STREAM+ enables users to send out and receive messages and files securely. Developed for field applications with weight, power, and size restrictions, STREAM+ provides a series of industry standard procedures, functions, and inputs streamlining integration and setup for end users and lowering advancement costs and total time to market.
Likewise presently dealing with IMT service-based services are Iridium partners Beam Communications, Blue Sky Network, CLS Group, Globalsat Group, Lars Thrane A/S and Zunibal.
” The launch of Iridium Messaging Transport includes another effective capability to the Iridium Certus portfolio and another value-added service for our partners and the growing IoT market,” said Bryan Hartin, executive vice president, sales and marketing, Iridium.
” Our partners are thrilled about IMT as it will make it much faster and easier for them to include Iridium satellite connection to new and existing options needed across a variety of industries.”
Unique in the satellite industry, Iridium Certus is the only broadband service that provides reputable, weather-resilient connection for on-the-move web, premium voice, e-mail, live-action video and IoT data transfer. Through its constellation of crosslinked satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), Iridium is the only communications company that offers really international protection and is ideally fit for IoT applications.

IMT has been highly expected by Iridiums partner ecosystem and is presently offered for the Iridium Certus 100 service with intro on Iridium Certus 200, 350 and 700 prepared for the very first quarter of 2023.
As a connectionless messaging service for Iridium CertusTM modules, IMT aligns with current recognized server-device message constructs utilizing centers, Pub/Sub or queues, depending on application platforms. The IMT service can be utilized by a customer application that is shop and forward or has little amounts of information traffic that does not require a consistent connection between servers, making use of an Iridium Certus terminal. The Iridium CloudConnect service combines Iridium IoT abilities with AWS cloud services extending consumers IoT reach to the more than 85 percent of the earth that lacks terrestrial protection.
