APUS is a compact Wi-Fi router built on the Amentum CST88 satellite transceiver that provides 88 kbps bi-directional data transfer for comms-on-the-move—filling a unique operational gap. This router works with the Iridium satellite constellation and provides real-time data service to any location on the globe. Because Iridium is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation, the link margins to maintain a full speed connection can be done with small omni-directional antennas, eliminating the need for satellite tracking or high-power transmitters.

To use, simply insert a provisioned Iridium SIM card, connect an approved satellite antenna, connect a laptop or other IP device via ethernet, and apply power. Easily configure with a built-in Web interface. Use coax extension cables for flexible installation options.

APUS sits at a unique midpoint between Iridium’s narrowband and broadband products. Speeds of up to 88 Kbps provide enough bandwidth to support a data stream in a size, weight, and power (SWaP) that can support man-portable, unattended sensors, UAV, and other SWaP-sensitive applications.
