Short Burst Data
Short Burst Data is ideal for sending relatively small data messages (less than 2kB per message). There is only a small delay (a few seconds) between sending and receiving, making it suitable for real-time tracking & tracing and monitoring of various equipment. The messages can be sent to an email address, an ip address & port and/or an iridium modem. Big advantage is that you only have to deal with one network worldwide, so no roaming on other networks, as is the case with GSM. Because of this it is always clear what the costs are. An average 'sms' message about Iridium SBD costs about 5 cents !
