Toronto, Canada – May 22, 2025 – Peplink, a pioneer in SD-WAN and multi-WAN technologies, today announced a strategic technology partnership with Iridium Communications Inc., (NASDAQ: IRDM) a leading provider of global voice and data satellite communications, to deliver reliable wireless connectivity for industries operating in remote, mobile, and mission-critical environments.
This partnership integrates Iridium’s truly global, pole-to-pole L-Band satellite coverage, featuring the Iridium Certus® connectivity service, with Peplink’s intelligent multi-WAN routing platform. This combination enables continuous communications even in areas beyond the reach of terrestrial cellular networks or other competing satellite services. Together, they offer a fail-safe solution for maritime, emergency response, enterprise business continuity, rail, oil & gas, and remote industrial IoT or worksite operations.
“We’re thrilled to team up with Peplink to provide a connectivity backbone that simply doesn’t quit,” said Tim Last, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Iridium. “As more businesses depend on real-time data and critical communications, the risk of downtime becomes costlier. While LEO broadband satellites and 5G networks offer high speeds, they can face service gaps due to location, weather, terrain, or movement. The weather-resilient Iridium Certus service, combined with Peplink’s SpeedFusion technology, helps ensure that essential applications like messaging, telemetry, and command-and-control traffic stay online—automatically and intelligently.”
“Iridium completes the puzzle in our mission to deliver truly unbreakable connectivity,” said Keith Chau, General Manager at Peplink. “With Iridium as a failover path, our customers can stay connected from offshore rigs to remote rail lines with zero blind spots.”
As part of the partnership, Iridium and Peplink will collaborate on joint marketing, educational webinars, and partner programs. Channel partners will benefit from a bundled solution that delivers true WAN resilience and opens up new revenue opportunities in high-demand, reliability-first sectors.
Key benefits of the integrated solution include:
- Automatic failover across legacy satellite, 5G/LTE, and other LEO broadband satellites
- Intelligent routing of mission-critical traffic
- Centralized monitoring and policy management with Peplink InControl 2 service
- Compatible with Iridium Certus 200 and 700 service and terminals
