Network availability notes

Iridium has orbiting satellites. Here the proximity to the equator plays the decisive role, because at the equator the satellite density of the Iridium network is lowest. On the sea, however, this is negligible because there is a clear view all around, even to satellites located flat above the horizon.

Our recommendation

All of South America is covered by Iridium and Inmarsat. The further south you go, the Inmarsat satellite is lower above the horizon in the north. Therefore, we recommend an Iridium phone for mountain regions.
