This network was originally established in the 1990-s and remains a key component of our well characterised and high quality ‘reference- capability, providing much valued observations for operational forecasting, climate monitoring and key calibration data for meteorological satellites.

The next generation of Iridium-s Satellite service and modems have been released in the last 2 years, with the monthly data costs of Iridium-s Certus 100 service being significantly cheaper per megabyte than the SBD network costs. Exploitation of the Certus
