Iridium Repeater
Global Foxcom’s Iridium Coaxial Repeater brings Iridium satellite handset access into indoor and shielded environments where direct sky view is not available. Designed around an IP65-rated outdoor repeater unit, the system supports connectivity for control rooms, operations rooms, military bunkers, underground facilities, submarines, maritime sites, and oil rigs when primary communication networks are unavailable.

The Iridium Coaxial Repeater is built for facilities where Iridium handset access is required inside enclosed or infrastructure-heavy spaces. The outdoor antenna setup receives and transmits Iridium signals, while the coaxial repeater configuration extends coverage into the indoor operating area through ceiling-mounted antennas. This gives teams a practical way to maintain satellite communication from protected locations during emergency, defence, maritime, offshore, or underground operations.
The system is designed around defined coaxial cable limits, making it suitable for controlled installations where antenna placement and cable routing can be planned around site layout. Global Foxcom also offers wider satellite repeater configurations for hangars and facilities that require separate or integrated GPS and Inmarsat systems.
