Comment on Iridium Satellite Phone as Modem on OS X by Ken Mankoff

The Iridium modem I had was far too slow for video. One low quality photo would take about a minute to upload. I don’t think this would work for you. There are faster Iridium modems, but you are still using modem technology from the late 1980s. There are also other companies (GlobalStar, InMarSat) with much higher bandwidth that you should look into. We were forced to use Iridium because we were so far south the other satellites don’t provide coverage there. They will provide coverage in the areas you mentioned. Costs are quite high. You should consider waiting until you get to local internet cafes and upload from there.

I’m planning some trips to the middle of nowhere (Africa, Mongolia, Amazon) and am looking for a way to upload posts, photos and videos to my blog in the field.
Is this a viable and consistent way to do it? Do you have any other suggestions?
