This satellite-based Packet Data Modem
provides a reliable, wireless IP data link to
remote locations ser viced by Globalstar
Gateways, where terrestrial and landline
ser vice is unavailable.
Besides two-way Business-to-Business Internet
Communications with land, marine, or aviation
based equipment, users can also monitor,
control, and track fixed and mobile Super visory
Control and Data Access (SCADA) telemetr y
devices.
Designed for multiple applications, the
GSP-1620 Packet Data Modem offers a
flexible solution for the Original Equipment
Manufacturer, as well as, providing a
developer’s kit for accelerated time to
market.
