13.5 SIM Installation – ROV
The SIM can be installed either top-side or in the vehicle. There are advantages to both methods
which depend on the multiplexer capabilities. For SIM installation in the vehicle, the SIM Controller
board may be removed from the SIM or supplied as an additional item. The SIM controller board
uses a PC/104 size format, but does not use the PC/104 bus.
