MCLEAN, Va. USA — June 13, 2024 — Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: IRDM)partner RuggON, a subdivision of Ubiqconn Technology — which is dedicated to delivering the world's most durable computing solutions — recently launched the RuggON PX501 Iridium Connected™ tablet. Designed for a variety of applications and uses, this ruggedized tablet operates on Iridium's truly global network in a military-graded housing build, making it one of the most reliable smart tablet solutions on the market.

The PX501 is a Windows-based solution intended for professionals across several industries, such as oil and gas — including offshore rigs, merchant shipping, law enforcement, non-government organizations (NGOs), agriculture, military, automotive, manufacturing, logistics, and more. This ruggedized tablet can withstand tough environments, while providing workers in the field with two-way data delivery via satellite, messaging, emailing, web browsing, and more, even in adverse weather conditions.

""As a leader in providing ruggedized tablets for extreme environments, RuggON continues to deliver cutting-edge solutions that provide best-in-class options for their customers," said Bryan Hartin, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Iridium. "When it comes to extreme communications, redundancy is essential. With the Iridium Connected PX501, users can confidently venture to even the most remote and extreme locations knowing that if they lose 5G or WiFi 6E connectivity, they will stay reliably connected with Iridium.""

The PX501 is embedded with Iridium Short Burst Data® (SBD®) capabilities, giving users a reliable hybrid network connectivity experience when roaming in and out of terrestrial LTE, 3G/4G/5G, or Wi-Fi coverage. Iridium's constellation of crosslinked satellites, blanketing the earth with weather-resilient L-band coverage, connects directly to the PX501 from space, making it a unique, reliable and ruggedized tablet experience.
