Iridium Communications Inc. unveiled its newest technology "Iridium 9602" satellite data transceiver in January at its annual Partners Conference in Phoenix, Ariz.
The Iridium 9602 is a full duplex short-burst data (SBD) transceiver specifically created for embedded software in the rapidly growing market for remote asset tracking and monitoring solutions. The product, which is the culmination of a 2-year R&D program, has accomplished prototype testing, and Iridium predicts to begin industrial deliveries in June.
The new Iridium 9602 short-burst data transceiver will provide global two-way info links for remote tracing, monitoring and messaging applications. The smaller size of the new Iridium 9602 short-burst data transceiver will allow system integrators to embed the unit in a wide range of small, handy satellite tracing, monitoring and messaging solutions.
"The smaller, cheap Iridium 9602 will serve as the data communication engine for a wide range of portable tracking and checking gadgets, leveraging Iridium's worldwide coverage and low-latency, two-way data links," said Don Thoma, executive vice president for marketing at Iridium. "Our service partners are already testing prototypes in their Iridium 9602-based solutions for applications like tracing soldiers and military trucks in the field, telemetry from unattended sensors, fleet management, enterprise logistics and supply-chain visibility, as well as personal two-way navigation and mapping devices."
"The Iridium 9602 focuses on most overall value of fees and performance which offers global, real-time service joined with new lower pricing," said Patrick Shay, vice president, data services, Iridium. "The Iridium 9602 is the topmost value in the business."
A one-of-a-kind feature of the Iridium 9602 is its in built GPS input/output ports which will permit system integrators to interface having an external GPS receiver, using a single dual-mode L-Band antenna for GPS and Iridium SBD, saving the price of an antenna in their applications.
