IridiumAxcessPointWebcanreducethetimeittakestodownloadtypicalwebpagesbyuptoafactorofupto
5x.However,browsewithcautionbecausetheIridiumnetworkisanarrowbandconnection.Theuser
experienceofwebbrowsingwithIridiumAxcessPointWebiscertainlybetterthanbrowsingwithout
compression;however,youwillrealizethegreatestperformancewithemail.

IridiumAxcessPointsupportsmultipleusers.MultipleuserscanshareanIridiumAxcessPointWi‐Fihotspotat
differenttimes.OnlyoneusershouldaccesstotheIridiumnetworkatonetime.AllusersonAxcessPoint

13. MultipleDevices
IridiumAxcessPointsupportsmultipledevices.Forexample,ausermighthaveaBlackberryforworkpurposes
andanotherWi‐Fienableddeviceforpersonaluse.BothdevicescanbeusedonthesameIridium
AxcessPoint,however,therearesomeguidelinesthatmustbeobserved.
ForaBlackberryorAndroiduser,iftheyplantosharetheirIridiumAxcessPointwithotherWi‐Fidevicesthat
willusetheIridiumAxcessPointMail&Websoftware,itisrecommendedthatasecondIridiumAxcessPointis
purchased.ThereasonisthatonceIridiumAxcessPointMail&WebisusedwithIridiumAxcessPoint,the
ConnectionManagerinIridiumAxcessPointMail&WebtakescontroloftheIridiumconnection.Thesoftware
willstartandstoptheIridiumconnectionfromtheConnectionManager.Italsochangesthefirewallsettings
so100%ofthebandwidthissenttotheserverthatsupportsthecompression.Thischangeaffectshow
BlackberryandAndroidusersaresupportedonIridiumAxcessPointsincetheyrequiretheIridiumAxcessPoint
toprovidetheconnectioninordertoaccessemailsandwebbrowsing.Toaddressthisthealternativeisfor
theIridiumAxcessPointMail&WebusertomodifytheirsettingsaftereachsessiontoreturntheIridium
AxcessPointdevicetothedefaultsettingssoitwillautomaticallyconnectandsupporttheconnectionrequired
fortheBlackBerryorAndroiduser.
