Iridium data connection problems solved 10:33 am EST Nov 15, 2005 mounteverest.net (HumanEdgeTech.com) Over the weekend, in addition to their usual hardships, expeditions around the Globe tried desperately to connect to the Iridium satellite system - to no avail. Around 10 active expeditions, and another 10 on their marks to leave with the Iridium system next week dialed up as usual, but got disconnected after exactly 30 seconds. This can happen on occasion due to many different variables such as poor transmission location, too little juice in the system, faulty dial-up server - but this time it happened worldwide - at exactly the same hour. Contact packages used with all other satellite connections (Globalstar, Thuraya and Inmarsat) were unaffected. Turned out changes in the Iridium network over the weekend affected the signal. By late Monday the situation was corrected and late Monday night, the dispatches began to arrive - from Antarctica, the Oceans, and Northern Canada! We are back up and running guys. Human Edge Tech - what's in a name.
