IRIDIUM BURST OVERVIEW
Iridium Burst is the first one-to-many global data broadcast service. Iridium Burst makes it possible to transmit data to tens, hundreds, thousands, even millions of devices at a time using the world’s most robust satellite network.
SENDING A MESSAGE
Step 1: The sender formats the transmission, specifying recipient group, location and any other optional information.
Step 2: The Iridium Burst Service receives the transmission, validates the format and schedules the transmission(s) before sending the data to the Iridium gateway.
Step 3: The gateway receives the transmission request and sends the data to the appropriate satellite(s).
Step 4: The satellite network receives the transmission and relays the data to the satellite beam(s).

RECEIVING A MESSAGE
Receiving a Message
Step 1: All transmissions are received by every Iridium Burst-enabled device in the target geographic area.
Step 2: Only those devices belonging to the specified recipient group (i.e. authorised devices) are able to unscramble the message.
Step 3: The field application pulls the data from the Iridium Burst-enabled device.
