Our world requires more connectivity than ever, and only one company connects everyone to the things that matter most, anywhere on Earth. Providing access to voice and data service through a constellation of satellites, Iridium keeps people – and things – connected on the land, in the air, or at sea.

Navigating the Arctic and Antarctic tundra’s is no small feat, but with access to the Iridium global satellite network, the Pole to Pole EV expedition can successfully execute its mission. Not only does this network allow the team to stay connected and secure their safety, but it will also provide the data necessary for the interactive expedition map. Ultimately, the Iridium network is fundamental to the success of the Pole to Pole EV expedition.
