DILUPE and the Iridium system

The Iridium System is a satellite-based, wireless personal communications network providing a robust suite of voice features to virtually any destination anywhere on earth.

The Iridium system comprises three principal components: the satellite network, the ground network and the Iridium subscriber products including phones and pagers. The design of the Iridium network allows voice and data to be routed virtually anywhere in the world. Voice and data calls are relayed from one satellite to another until they reach the satellite above the Iridium Subscriber Unit (handset) and the signal is relayed back to Earth.

Dilupe's proven knowledge and expertise in satellite based personal and data communications, we knew that Iridium would be a natural fit in our product and service offerings.

As an Iridium Value added Manufacturer, DILUPE's engineers are developing and manufacturing hardware, software and accessory products for data messaging and voice, via the Iridium system.  Our first product, the SBD-1100 is based on Iridium's Short Burst Data (SBD) Service.

The Iridium Short Burst Data Service is a data service that enables you to cost-effectively send and receive short data and messages efficiently over the Iridium network. The Iridium SBD Service is designed to send data messages that on average are typically less than 205 bytes.
Iridium's Short Burst Data Service utilizes a well-organized and efficient network protocol designed for shorter sized data messages and uses a proprietary network protocol to transfer data messages to and from the remote terminal.

• SBD-1100 (Short Burst Data Modem)

• IRIMSG for DMT-1500 (Iridium messaging application )

The SBD-1100 Smart Modem is solely manufactured by DILUPE of Belgium.  Dilupe is the only source of this equipment. DILUPE limits the distribution of its Iridium based products and software to Iridium approved Resellers, Developers and Manufacturers.   If you are interested in becoming an Iridium VAR or VAM please visit: www.iridium.com/contact/
