  • Satellite-enabled Rebelle Rally with Iridium.

    Satellite-enabled Rebelle Rally with Iridium.
    Nov 15 2025
    The Rebelle Rally is an eight-day, 2,500-kilometer navigation challenge across the Nevada and California deserts with no GPS, no cell phones. Competitors rely solely on analog tools like compasses, maps, and roadbooks to find hidden checkpoints and navigate unforgiving terrain. But behind the scenes, it’s a modern logistics feat made possible by satellite-powered tracking, scoring, communications, and emergency response — all delivered via Iridium’s technology. We spoke with Iridium’s COO Suzi McBride about participating and enabling this event.
