Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:IRDM) and Quake Global, Inc. (QUAKE(TM)) are expanding on their value-added manufacturing agreement. As part of the new arrangement, QUAKE(tm) will integrate Iridium's short-burst data (SBD) service into its new line of intelligent, industrial, satellite transceivers.

QUAKE transceivers are used around the world for two-way, satellite data communications services required for global remote tracking and control monitoring. Though only the size of a deck of cards, the Q4000 modem combines dual-mode operability over the Iridium satellite network and GSM terrestrial networks in an industrial-grade, all-in-one remote asset tracking solution.
