Budget estimate

$120,000 – $250,000

Based on typical market prices, an Iridium Extreme phone kit costs around $650‑$750 each, and a 720‑day prepaid service plan adds roughly $250‑$350 per unit. For 100 kits, equipment cost ≈ $65,000‑$75,000; service plans ≈ $25,000‑$35,000. Adding logistics, testing, warranty administration, and overhead, the total contract value is likely in the $120,000‑$250,000 range.
