Iridium Communications CEO Matt Desch has said satellite internet of things has become the “strongest growing area for the company,” Via Satellite reported Thursday.

Desch noted that Iridium is not in competition with other satellite communications providers and works to differentiate itself.

“We have always been different from other broadband networks,” he said at the World Satellite Business Week in Paris.

“We have built a $3B broadband network and don’t want to be doing the same things others are doing.”

Desch, a four-time Wash100 recipient, added that the company has seen strong growth in revenue as the deployment of the Iridium NEXT satellite constellation nears completion.
