Louie,
What I am familiar with being used as a transponder to transmit calls between great distances is the use of a satellite or satellite(s) in space to receive a signal from the earth, and then bounce back the signal or a different signal to a receiver on the earth. Towers can also be used as transponders when calls are between shorter distances like between people in a state or town.

"“approved Iridium request to operate a transponder over the continental U.S. on September 28, 2001, just two weeks after the attack?”"

Louie, are you saying that Iridium got permission to use an existing satellite or are they under contract to build another satellite to send into space?
