Iridium Moves Into South Korean Market

Iridium satellite services and gear are being distributed in South Korea, the satellite company said in a Thursday news release, saying it signed a distribution deal with South Korean navigation and communications equipment company Arion Communication. Arion will resell such products as Iridium’s Pilot wireless service for ships and its Go! Smartphone. The company’s Certus broadband service, which will come from its NEXT satellite network set to begin going into orbit later this year, will follow, Iridium said.
