Our service operates on a truly seamless global satellite network with
total uninterrupted service. The network is superior to many others - such as
mobile phones or radio - as data collection and distribution is far more
secure.
Our service utilises Inmarsat I4 Satellites operating via the IsatM2M
standard. It delivers an affordable and reliable direct-to-desktop information
service with fast message handling and a high quality of service.
The IsatM2M is a proven satellite communication system developed to
bring an affordable, global messaging and reporting system.It has one-way and
two-way communication capability.
IsatM2M terminals benefit from being small, compact, lightweight and
extremely easy to install. Once activated the unit is able to operate
autonomously or can be controlled remotely, for example through a web-based
application.
GPS (Global Positioning System) capability is integral to our satellite
terminals, making them ideal for tracking applications. Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition (SCADA) is another major application area, where the terminal
can be programmed to report back measurements on demand, at pre-programmed
times or in response to external events.
Each asset is fitted with a satellite terminal. This communicates via a
secure global satellite network to Ground Earth Stations.
At the Ground Earth Station, the radio frequency signals from the dish
are converted into a digital message format and routed via a dedicated line to
a Message Handling System at a centralised Data Centre. Using a secure Internet
connection or dedicated lines, the user is able to send and receive messages to
the remote satellite terminals from his personal computer or workstation.
The following diagram illustrates how the system
operates.
