Iridium CloudConnect 是全球首個、也是唯一基於雲端的衛星通訊解決方案。透過與 Amazon Web Services (AWS) 的合作，它為開發者提供一個強大的平台，來統一管理連網裝置的通信。
運作方式
資料傳輸：數據透過封閉的電信載波網路以及 Iridium 與 AWS 之間的專用安全私有連線傳輸。
認證：利用跨帳號認證與簡單腳本即可建立所需基礎架構，完成 CloudConnect 部署。
資料交付：客戶可在 AWS 的 Simple Queue Service (SQS) 隊列中，以 JSON 格式接收其 SBD 裝置數據。
私有佇列：所有佇列都存在於客戶自身的 AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) 環境中。
主要優勢
減少工程開發工作量、降低固定營運成本，並縮短新產品與新服務的開發周期。
採用 AWS 廣泛使用的數據交換方法與雲端功能，讓企業更快速取得服務效益。
產業標準
符合持續演進的 IoT 訊息標準與協定。
覆蓋能力
結合 Iridium 全球衛星網路與 AWS 全球冗餘性基礎設施與技術支援。
安全與隱私
基於專有的安全連線，Iridium 可直接與 AWS 連接，不經過公共網際網路。
訊息佇列
SBD 訊息會轉換為 JSON，並置於合作方 AWS 環境中的 SQS 隊列內。
升級便利性
未來 Iridium 提供或升級新型訊息傳輸選項時，無需更改 CloudConnect 介面。
SBD 延續性
CloudConnect 並不取代現有的 SBD 功能，既有後端傳輸方式保持不變。
 
The first and only global cloud-based satellite solution

Together with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Iridium CloudConnect provides a powerful tool for developers seeking a singular communications platform to manage connected devices.
How It Works
Iridium CloudConnect enables devices to send and receive messages through the AWS-hosted service without having to develop a connecting service to the Iridium Short Burst Data® (SBD®) gateway.
Data Transfer: Data is transferred through closed carrier networks and dedicated secure private connections between Iridium and AWS.
Authentication: Iridium CloudConnect is set up using cross-account authentication, and a simple script that creates the necessary infrastructure.
Data Delivery: Customers receive their SBD device data in a Simple Queue Service (SQS) queue in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format.
Private Queues: Queues reside in the customer’s own AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environment.
Key Advantages
Reduce engineering efforts, lower fixed operating costs, and reduce time to develop new products and services with Iridium CloudConnect, using widely adopted data exchange methods and the associated capabilities and services available through AWS.
Industry Standards
Aligns with industry evolving IoT messaging standards and message protocols
Coverage
Leverages Iridium’s global network and AWS’s global, redundant infrastructure and support
Secure & Private
Uses a dedicated secure and private connection that directly connects Iridium to AWS without using the public internet
Messaging Queue
SBD messages converted to JSON are placed in a Simple Queue Service (SQS) queue in a partner’s AWS cloud environment
Easy Upgrades
Iridium will add/upgrade future messaging options without changes to the Iridium CloudConnect partner interface
Iridium Short Burst Data
Does not replace any SBD functionality – current backend delivery options remain as they are today
