QUALCOMM GSP-1620

The QUALCOMM GSP-1620 Satellite Data Modem (SDM) delivers reliable digital data communications virtually anywhere in the world using QUALCOMM's patented CDMA technology and the Globalstar constellation of 48 Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellites.

Besides two-way business to business Internet communications with land, marine, or aviation based equipment, the GSP-1620 SDM, can cost-effectively retrieve data automatically from isolated power substations, or remote metering facilities such as oil and gas supply stations. Unmanned sensors connected to an SDM can monitor remote operations and initiate alert notifications.

Designed for multiple applications, the GSP-1620 SDM offers a flexible solution for the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), as well as providing a developer's kit for accelerated time to market.

Advantages:

Enhance the performance and operational reliability of remote installations
Reduce operating and maintenance costs
Increase crew efficiency
View the status of your equipment and recorders without wasting valuable
Operate valves
Receive immediate notification when certain levels are reached so you can make

Spot (Satellite Personal Tracker)

How It Works:

Once activated, SPOT will acquire its exact coordinates from the GPS network, and send that location along with a distress message to a GEOS International Emergency

Response Center every five minutes until cancelled. The Emergency Response

Center notifies the approp

riate emergency responders based on your location

and personal information – which may include local police, highway patrol, the Coast Guard, our country’s embassy or consulate, or other emergency response or search and rescue teams – as well as notifying your emergency contact person(s) about the receipt of a distress signal.

Important Note:

Even if SPOT cannot acquire its location from the GPS network it will still attempt to send a distress signal – without exact location – to the Emergency Response Center, which will still notify your contacts of the signal and continue to monitor the network for further messages.

SPOT is designed for maximum reliability. Spot performs a self-diagnostic test each time it is powered on. Additionally, Spot strongly recommends that you send and verify an OK/Check message each time before use. This allows you to evaluate your entire messaging system, from the operational condition of the messenger to the readiness of those you’ve chosen to notify of your messages.

Power:

SPOT has a separate power button to ensure long battery life and to help avoid sending messages accidentally. To turn SPOT on, press the ON/OFF button. You must then wait an additional 2 seconds before activating any SPOT function. When power is on, the indicator light will blink once every 3 seconds. This is also helpful for making SPOT more visible in the dark. To turn SPOT off, press and hold the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds.
