Everywhere Connected Part 2

I tested the DeLorme inReach Explorer in really extreme conditions: flying over Pacific. To my surprise the communicator maintained consistent connection with the Iridium network and kept on reporting the location at regular intervals. I was able to send / receive messages too. Pretty amazing stuff, considering I was just sitting at a window in a coach class. Looking at the chart, you may see it dropped the communication after we crossed the date line at 180 longitude. I simply fell asleep and the device dropped to the aircraft floor, where it lost the signal. If it just works in a jet plane flying at 650 knots, it should really work anywhere in more realistic conditions. Wow!
