Iridium Edge Solar
The Iridium Edge Solar is a standalone and programmable, solar-powered Short Burst Data® (SBD®) device that offers real-time GPS tracking and local wireless sensor and communication capabilities over Bluetooth.
By harvesting the sun’s energy, Iridium Edge Solar enables long-term deployment of asset tracking, monitoring and management solutions.
Having self-charging capabilities with up to 10 years of life, low maintenance, long product life, and over-the-air (OTA) configuration, allows Iridium Value-Added Resellers to create distinct tracking applications that can also be applied to create solutions more complex ones like:
- Fleet Management
- Vessel Monitoring Systems & Fisheries
- SCADA
- Shipping Container & Freight Tracking
- Oil and Gas Machinery & Cathodic Line Monitoring
- Heavy Machinery & Construction Equipment Telematics Data

Highly Mobile – The Iridium® satellite network provides communications and connectivity for mobile
applications like oil and gas, transportation, agriculture and surface mining anywhere on the planet allowing
tracking and monitoring of vehicles and assets operating in remote areas.
Reliable Coverage – Devices using the Iridium satellite network are enabled by a constellation of 66 Low-Earth
Orbit (LEO) mobile satellites that provide service anywhere on the planet.
Low Latency – The Iridium satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (~800 km), enable signals to travel in 1/40 the time
compared to geostationary satellites (36,000 km), resulting in low-latency, always-on connections ideal for
Internet of Things (IoT) deployments.
