Overview

Iridium World Communications Ltd. was a company primarily involved in the telecommunications sector, focusing on global wireless communication services. Founded in 1991 and based in Hamilton, Bermuda, its operations were pivotal in enabling worldwide mobile communications. Iridium World Communications Ltd. gained recognition for its oversight and management participation in its parent company, Iridium LLC, which directly owned Iridium Operating LLC. This structure underscored its integral role in the operational and strategic framework of its subsidiaries, specifically Iridium, which specialized in delivering voice and data communication services across the globe. In August 1999, the company faced financial difficulties, leading to a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Court, signaling its operational and financial restructuring as a debtor-in-possession.
