How to update the Iridium GO! Firmware
You will need a Laptop (PC or Mac) and a high-speed internet connection to download the Firmware file. Updating the firmware cannot be done on a mobile device or tablet.
***NOTE: FROM OCTOBER 2022, THERE IS A NEW FIRMWARE VERSION, 2.1.24.**
This firmware upgrade accounts for a change in the internal hardware from the existing GPS module (end of life) to the new GPS module. The upgrade does not alter device operation or functionality. Iridium GO! units on version 2.1.22 do NOT need to update the firmware.
Devices with 2.1.24 should NEVER be downgraded. If a device with 2.1.24 is downgraded by mistake, it will need to be sent back to Iridium for a reinstall of the upgrade, as this can only be done by Iridium.
The Iridium GO! device contains an internal website portal that can be used to upgrade the firmware.
