I have tied these locations with gateways provided by IRIDIUM Corp
Gateways are located in
Tempe, Arizona
Wahiawa, Hawaii — owned by DISA[37]
Avezzano, Italy
The pre-bankruptcy corporate incarnation of Iridium built eleven gateways, many of which have since been closed.[38] Gateways have also been built in
Pune (India), Beijing (People's Republic of China), Moscow (Russia), Nagano (Japan), Seoul (South Korea), Taipei (Taiwan), Jeddah (Saudia Arabia) and
Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
All of which are locations of recent events? Of course they are
Then theres this and more
Technical details[edit] Air interfaceCommunication between satellites and handsets is done using a TDMA and FDMA based system using L-band spectrum
between 1616 and 1626.5 MHz.[30] Iridium exclusively controls 7.775 MHz of this and shares a further 0.95 MHz. In 1999 Iridium agreed to timeshare a
portion of spectrum, allowing radio astronomers to observe hydroxyl emissions; the amount of shared spectrum was recently reduced from 2.625 MHz
And also this
Iridium is one of the rarest elements in the Earth's crust
Since the bankruptcy, only seven additional satellites have been launched but an updated constellation of 66 satellites is currently being developed
and is planned for launch in 2015-2017 on SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch Vehicles from Vandenberg AFB Space Launch Complex 3 in California
This is only the tip of the iceberg...... I have the proof on my thread but you must read it all.
