9505A Satellite Phone
Functionally similar to the Iridium 9505, this latest offering by Iridium introduces some minor product
changes. It is significantly smaller, lighter and more resistant to water, dust and shock than the original
Iridium 9500 and is ideal for industrial or rugged conditions, yet appealing to the traveling professional.
Business, adventure, or pleasure, you can stay in touch across seas and time zones, in remote locations and
on the go. One telephone number, through the use of a mini personal subscriber identity module (SIM) card,
can help keep you connected.

9505A Product Launch Q & A
1. Q: When will the 9505A be available?
A: Production units are planned to be available in December 2004.
2. Q: Are there any differences between the 9505 and the 9505A?
A: Yes. Iridium modified the 9505 phone due to internal components becoming obsolete and no longer supported.
3. Q: What are the differences between the 9505 and the 9505A?
A: The 9505A will continue to have the same features and functions as the 9505. Also, the 9505A has a similar form and, therefore, has
virtually the same look and feel as the 9505.
Three differences include:
1. The IR Port has been replaced with a 7mm power jack. The accessory connector
on the bottom of the phone is no longer used for charging the phone.
2. The accessory connector on the bottom of the phone has been modified to
prevent 9505 accessories from being used on the 9505A and visa versa.
3. Changes were made to certain accessories to accommodate component changes internal to the phone. These include:
Battery – Iridium has changed one alignment lug to prevent previous versions
from being installed. This battery can only be used with the 9505A. 9505 and
9505A batteries are not interchangeable.
AC and DC Chargers – there will be a new design with a different connector. The 9505A requires that the battery be
installed in order to power the phone.
