The Certus 9704 IoT module from Iridium supports satellite IoT applications requiring real-time data analysis and automated decision-making. This compact module offers larger file transfer sizes and faster message speeds than previous Iridium IoT modules, enabling the delivery of data, pictures, and audio messages up to 100 KB in industrial and remote environments.
With Iridium Messaging Transport (IMT) technology, the Certus 9704 provides two-way IoT services worldwide over Iridium’s low-latency global satellite network. The module is 34% smaller than the Iridium 9603, 79% smaller than the Iridium 9602, and offers an 83% reduction in idle power consumption compared to both.
In addition to conventional satellite IoT applications, the Certus 9704 is AIoT-ready. Products built with Certus 9704 modules can offload more computing to the cloud in a single message, where an AIoT engine can quickly make decisions and send actionable instructions back to the remote device. With IMT at its core, a built-in topic-sorting capability ensures messages are efficiently organized for delivery to the appropriate engine for real-time data, audio, or image analysis.
Iridium offers a development kit preconfigured with the Certus 9704 module mounted on a motherboard, along with a power supply, antenna, and Arduino-based software. The kit comes with 1000 free messages and GitLab-hosted reference materials.
