PLEO Satellite-Based Services Win for Iridium

October 16, 2023

Congratulations to Iridium Communications Inc. on their award of a five-year base Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with one five-year option by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and US Space Force for Iridium Certus services. The multiple awardee contract is part of a US Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) Satellite-Based Services award and includes multiple Iridium partners.

Unique in the satellite industry, Iridium Certus is the only broadband service that provides highly reliable, truly global, weather-resilient connectivity for on-the-move internet and high-quality voice access. These features are critically important for the Joint All Domain Command and Control’s (JADC2) Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) communications architecture. The award includes Iridium Certus terminals and service, which provide mission-critical broadband and midband capabilities to the modern warfighter.
