Iridium Communications Inc.
A company that runs a constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites providing voice and data connections — satellite phones and broadband — to governments, ships, airlines, and people in remote places where cell towers don't reach. The idea was born in a Motorola lab in 1987, and the network launched in 1998, only to go bankrupt a year later before investors rescued the satellites from being deorbited. It's named 'Iridium' because the original design called for 77 satellites, matching the atomic number of the element iridium, though the final constellation uses 66.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over all recorded history: -6.32M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
