What is it?
The uniHub is a plug-and-play solution that allows the end user to do more with the Iridium phones, including telephony interface for Group 3 fax and analog data modem, WiFi access to Iridium services, interfacing devices to the Iridium data port such as USB-based GPS receivers, and provides a simple interface for managing applications and multi-channel aggregation.

Why do you need it?
If you want to fax, the uniHub allows Iridium subscribers to send and receive faxes over the Iridium network.

If you are working indoors or are in areas where line-of-sight is not possible, Iridium subscribers can now access Iridium data services via WiFi from an indoor computer while the Iridium and uniHub equipment is in line-of-sight of the Iridium satellites.

If you need to connect devices with USB ports, wired LAN ports, and analog modems to Iridium, the uniHub offers a plug-and-play capability for connecting these devices to iridium equipment.
