Voice Capabilities


The Iridium intelligent handset, connected to INDOORS via the dedicated RJ-45 connector, provides full access to the Iridium network telephone and SMS services.

The Sky Connect transceiver is equipped with a standard RJ-11 jack, which may be connected to one or more standard two wire telephones or cordless phone base stations.


These telephones provide the user an “Iridium dial tone” indicating that any telephone number in the world can now be dialed on the telephone instrument. The RJ-11 connection allows long cable runs to the phones (or base stations), permitting the transceiver to be located near the antenna for best performance. The RJ-11 connector may also be connected to a wide variety of PBX’s. This permits access to the Iridium network from any telephone attached to the PBX. Incoming Iridium calls can also be routed through the PBX. A computer may be attached to Sky Connect Indoors for e-mail and internet access. Sky Connect Indoors is also an ideal cost savings solution to use as a central base station when communicating with remote personnel using Iridium handheld devices.
