Pole Star Global proudly announces full integration with Iridium Certus®, becoming the first maritime intelligence provider to offer LRIT, SSAS, and commercial vessel tracking via this next-generation satellite service, powered primarily through the Lars Thrane LT-4200S terminal.
This milestone marks a significant leap in global fleet monitoring and safety infrastructure, offering ship operators unmatched flexibility, coverage, and regulatory compliance in a single solution.
Why It Matters for Ship Operators
Iridium Certus now provides the maritime world with the only truly global GMDSS-compliant satellite-based service. The newly integrated solution enables:
- Reliable Distress Alerting in all ocean regions
- Safety Voice & Maritime Safety Information (MSI) via a single terminal
- Real-time LRIT Monitoring for global vessel visibility
- Secure SSAS Alerts that function even in low-bandwidth areas
- Commercial Broadband Communication with minimal onboard infrastructure
This is especially crucial for fleets operating in high-risk, remote, or polar regions, where traditional satellite systems often fail to deliver dependable connectivity.
What Makes the LT-4200S Terminal Unique?
Developed by Lars Thrane and MED Wheelmark certified, the LT-4200S terminal reduces onboard complexity while meeting strict SOLAS regulatory standards. It enables operators to cut costs, simplify operations, and future-proof their compliance.
A New Standard in Resilient Global Connectivity
With Iridium Certus now underpinning Pole Star Global’s LRIT, SSAS, and tracking services, customers benefit from:
✅ Uninterrupted global coverage, including the Arctic and Antarctic;
✅ Faster, more weather-resilient connectivity for real-time decisions;
✅ Strengthened cybersecurity and physical safety across assets;
✅ Lower total cost of ownership with streamlined onboard infrastructure.
This integration sets a new benchmark for modern fleet safety, compliance, and operational intelligence.
