These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
Iridium names MetOcean as a value-added reseller and reports MetOcean support for Canadian Coast Guard VesseLINK 700 integration. The Thales terminal is third-party hardware, not a MetOcean-manufactured product.
Commercial availability
MetOcean offers terminals, airtime and integration support. Its current STREAM1 page still posts a near-0 C reliability advisory for certain 9704 units; an earlier expected replacement window does not establish resolution. Verify the exact terminal and temperature envelope before ordering.

Iridium Communications supports MetOcean Telematics update satellite telemetry capability maturity as: Iridium names MetOcean as a value-added reseller and reports MetOcean support for Canadian Coast Guard VesseLINK 700 integration. The Thales terminal is third-party hardware, not a MetOcean-manufactured product.
STREAM1 is the IMT 9704-based OEM/plug-and-play telemetry offer, distinct from the 9603N SBD STREAM modules and Certus 100 STREAM+. The current page still warns of unreliable performance near 0 C for certain Iridium 9704 units and discusses above-10 C shipments and anticipated late-March to early-May 2026 replacements. This past expectation is not proof that the issue is resolved.
