The Iridium
®
satellite serving a Short Burst Data call can literally be anywhere in orbit
at a given moment in time. For this reason, it is imperative that the antenna be
mounted outside, as high as possible, in a horizontal position on the aircraft,
attempting to achieve a 360-degree view of the sky with minimal obstructions.
