ST 9100 - HARDWARE GUIDE
Figure 2: System Architecture
The satellite-cellular terminal is based on Lua software and is supported by a suite of IsatData Pro tools, enabling SPs
a programmable platform they can tailor to their specific applications.
1.2 Terminal
Note: Hardware components may not be exactly as shown in this document. A terminal consists of a transceiver
unit plus antennas.
Transceivers with a standard antenna operate on the IsatData Pro network at an elevation angle of 20° to 90° and -5°
to 90° for transceivers with low elevation antennas. The transceivers are self-contained, compact, and provide low
power consumption.
A cellular module is available to operate over the cellular network
The transceiver's built-in programmability allows it to work as a stand-alone with built-in I/O data collection and
processing capabilities. Terminals are suitable for the AVL market.
Feature-rich software tools make application design easy and shorten the design and testing time. ORBCOMM also
provides consulting services to SPs to help program the transceiver and get customer applications running quickly.
1.3 Transceiver Components
CAUTION: Do not rely solely on the terminal for emergency (SOS) calls.
In addition to the features mentioned earlier, the transceiver has the following benefits:
l Designed to be used as a standalone or incorporated into an SPsolution
l Built-in dual-GNSSreceiver to calculate position, speed, and heading
l Quick and easy installation reduces labor time and costs
l Installed firmware
l Flexible custom application design (Lua Services Framework)
l Wide operational temperature range
l Satellite plus cellular modem integration
l Discrete I/O ports to interface with a wide range of after-market accessories
l Rugged construction
