TS-IRIDIUM Board 

Celestech is offering a ruggedized 9602 Short Burst Data modem PC/104 board (TS-IRIDIUM) allowing access to a wide variety of standard hardware.  Celestech can help you with developing and certifying your SBD applications using this platform.  The board has a pair of SMA antenna connectors for an Iridium antenna and an output to an external GPS receiver.  The board measures 3.5 x 3.75 inches (8.9 x 9.5 cm) and can be stacked as part of any PC/104 system.  It comes with an Application Program Interface software library for Linux.  The TS-IRIDIUM is designed with power savings in mind and allows the application to have extensive control over power consumption.  The Iridium Certified board/modem/software is available now!

The TS-IRIDIUM board makes it easy to pair the 9602 SBD terminal with a family of readily available, standards-based computers and other peripherals as well as a proven software development environment to allow for rapid development and deployment of SBD applications without the need to develop custom hardware.  A wide range of compatible, inexpensive, low power consumption, rugged computers and peripherals are available from our partner Technologic Systems (http://www.embeddedARM.com/). The range of available devices include: Single Board Computers (ARM, Intel), Networking (Ethernet, WiFi, zigbee), modems (cellular, telephone), digital and analog I/O (DAC, ADC, IDE), power supplies, memory modules, real time clocks, relays, video, and more.

 

The TS-IRIDIUM board comes with a Linux API that allows for rapid integration of the Iridium SBD functionality into your software application.  The API provides a simple procedure call interface that encapsulates the functions needed to manage the sending and receiving of SBD messages using the TS-IRIDIUM board. The API library has been certification tested along with the TS-IRIDIUM board by Iridium.

9602 SBD Terminals 

Celestech offers Iridium 9602 Short Burst Data modems.  The 9602 is the current generation of SBD terminal.  The old model 9601 terminal has been phased out and can no longer be ordered.  The 9602 offers significant improvements over the 9601.  The 9602 is much smaller, lighter, consumes less power, and is less expensive than the 9601 it replaces.
