I can't give you the technical description of the noise in the Iridium system, but it has been reported numerous times by users of the system for voice transmission. They also reported the tendency of the system to drop calls, but the reason may be simply loss of line-of-sight transmission between the handset and the satellite. It is also unclear whether the Iridium system will maintain a connection from a moving vehicle.
