1 Iridium Proprietary and Confidential 1 Iridium Communications Inc. SMM 2010 Hamburg, Germany

2 Iridium Value Proposition for Maritime Communications Iridium Proprietary and Confidential 2 Coverage over entire globe, including Polar Regions High network availability and reliability Product offerings tailored to requirements of shipping industry Iridium OpenPort Iridium 9602 Short-Burst Data (SBD) Transceiver Iridium 9555 Handset

3 Iridium OpenPort Iridium Proprietary and Confidential 3 Unique product that fits important niche for cost-effective broadband satcoms Multiple independent phone circuits Scalable data rates to 128 kbps Lightweight low-maintenance antenna Attractively priced service plans for crew welfare and ship’s business calls Strong market reception = more than 2,300 terminals delivered and commissioned Norbulk = latest shipping company to equip fleet (more than 70 ships)

4 Iridium 9602 Iridium Proprietary and Confidential 4 New SBD transceiver = “game changer” for mobile satellite data Small form factor = about the size of a matchbook Modest power consumption Low price Two-way low-latency global data links Enabler for next generation of small, inexpensive tracking and monitoring devices, including personal satellite emergency alarms More than 100,000 units on order for delivery in the next 18 months Working with more than 90 service partners to develop solutions with embedded satellite SBD, for remote tracking and monitoring of assets First products certified for operation on Iridium network Over 500 million messages transmitted in 2010 Currently average over 2 million messages transmitted per day

5 Maritime Safety Iridium Proprietary and Confidential 5 Working within international regulatory framework to provide GMDSS safety services Supporting sea trials with Danish MSA (DaMSA) to provide equivalent Navtex broadcasts in new Arctic Navarea Supplementing land-based radio transmitters DaMSA equipping vessel sailing in Greenland waters with Iridium-based device programmed for Navtex Includes geofencing for automatic triggering satellite messaging when ship enters area Also providing Iridium OpenPort terminals for EfficienSea e-navigation tests in Baltic

6 Iridium NEXT Iridium Proprietary and Confidential 6 “All Systems Go” for 2015-17 satellite constellation replenishment $2.2 billion contract signed with Thales Alenia Space in June Coface guarantees for 90 percent of $1.8 financing package; syndication with major banks nearly completed Primary launch partner (SpaceX) under contract Renewed constellation management contract with The Boeing Company Opportunity for hosted payloads up to 50 kg Example = AMPERE program = collaborative public-private initiative with Johns Hopkins APL, The Boeing Company, Iridium and NSF to use magnetic sensors on existing Iridium satellites for measuring magnetic storm activity

7 Network Reliability Iridium Proprietary and Confidential 7 Cross-linked satellite constellation allows traffic to be rerouted in the event of an anomaly or outage on any given satellite Ground infrastructure has built-in redundancy for all key functions Quality of Service (QoS) performance indicators constantly monitored by network operations team

8 Network Reliability Iridium Proprietary and Confidential 8 Existing satellite constellation is projected to provide satisfactory service through deployment of Iridium NEXT Radiation resistant orbits, extensive radiation shielding for critical satellite components Extended battery life due to lower-than-design traffic loads Ample fuel on each satellite – burn rates minimal for station keeping Seven spares parked in orbit for rapid activation when needed Independent studies conducted during due diligence for Coface finance guarantees reveal that Iridium can continue to provide commercially acceptable service with a partial constellation
