Iridium announced commercial availability of the Iridium Edge Solar - a secure, maintenance-free, solar-powered remote asset tracking and management device.

With over-the-air configuration capabilities, the Iridium Edge Solar is ideal for Vessel Monitoring Systems, fisheries management, tracking of freight shipping containers, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition applications, monitoring of oil and gas pipelines and heavy equipment telematics data reporting.

The Iridium Edge Solar beta trials, which are nearing completion, are thoroughly testing its real-time, two-way communication, over-the-air configuration ability, built-in Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity and secure, ruggedized packaging.

"The Iridium Edge Solar is a unique and versatile solar-powered asset tracking device, when compared to alternatives available in the industry," said Bryan Hartin, executive vice president, sales and marketing, Iridium.

Iridium Edge Solar resolves these issues through complete encapsulation of all vital electronics, military-grade ruggedized packaging and an innovative, intelligent dual-power system, ensuring two-way communications delivery even in low-light conditions.

Iridium Edge Solar now joins both the Iridium Edge and Iridium Edge Pro as finished Iridium products, each with specified, yet complementary, use-cases to extend the reach of IoT services beyond cellular coverage.
