Short Burst Data Communications

IIW designed, developed, deployed, and maintains Iridium's Short Burst Data (SBD) service for the Department of Defense's Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services (EMSS) and for commercially-available Iridium satellite services. SBD is a global, low-latency data communication service, capable of delivering about 2-kilobyte data payloads to or from any location on the planet. SBD subscriber equipment can send approximately 125 bytes of data in 1 second, and be off the air in less than 3 seconds. Global coverage and extremely short on-air times per call makes SBD a highly desirable communications capability for a variety of communications including tactical, remote sensing, and tracking operations. Over half of all Iridium call sessions are SBD.

We integrate SBD into various solutions to provide global, on-demand data capabilities for a variety of mission-critical applications.
