Iridium has replaced the legacy GEN 1 constellation with new Iridium Certus™ satellites. When your aircraft accesses this new constellation through the Collins Aerospace IRT NX SATCOM system, your passengers and crew can take advantage of higher data rates and safety services for operations worldwide. Other benefits associated with our IRT NX SATCOM system for Iridium terminals include lower weight, an antenna footprint with minimum drag, and lower power usage. The system is designed to support Future Air Navigation System (FANS), Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) requirements, and Internet for passengers.
