FollowerPower: Does anyone have the datasheets, pinouts and/or developer documentation for the following devices?

Motorola Iridium 9500
Motorola Iridium 9505
Iridium 9505A
Iridium 9522
Iridium Core 9523
Iridium 9555
Iridium 9575
Iridium 9575 PTT
Iridium 9602
Iridium 9603
Iridium 9604
Iridium 9704
Iridium DBL Interface / Port
- It's Some cursed proprietary thing on an RJ-45 connector...

I'm about to get some of those and considering to setup a bounty to get these up and running...

There's like a crate of 9505 phones staring at me and all they miss are batteries, SIM cards, chargers and maybe some antennas.
- Batteries are easy to source; worst-case gotta wire up some DC/DC adaptor to make it think it always got 3,8V or something...

And no, neither Motorola nor Iridium feel the need to make documentation available!

SES just quietly killed two satellites Intelsat already paid to build, and the cancellation says more about the death of geostationary economics than any earnings call ever could

The two largest European satellite operators are abandoning planned geostationary satellites and pushing the capital toward low Earth orbit, a clear signal that the GEO build-out era is winding down even at its most committed players.
