Quake Global’s Iridium 9603 ‘Short Burst Data Only Transceiver’ is designed to be integrated into a wireless data application with other host system hardware and software to produce a full solution designed for a specific application or vertical market. Examples of these solutions include tracking a maritime vessel or automatic vehicle location.
The 9603 only supports Iridium’s Short Burst Data (SBD) capability. It does not support voice, circuit switched data or short message service (SMS). The device is designed to meet the regulatory requirements for approval for FCC, Canada and CE assuming an antenna with a gain of ~3 dBi and adequate shielding.
This allows the module to be integrated into a variety of wireless data applications or retrofitted into existing SBD-only applications that utilise SBD with the current Iridium 9602, 9601, 9522A, 9522B or 9522 L-Band transceiver-based products.
Such finished products, when integrated together, require regulatory and safety testing to be conducted by the integrator. The 9603 is a single-board transceiver provided as a ‘black box’ transceiver module with all device interfaces provided by a single multi-pin interface connector in addition to the antenna connector; the end product only provides the core transceiver.
All other end user field application functions such as GPS, microprocessor-based logic control, digital and analog inputs, digital and analog outputs, power supply and antenna must be provided by the solution developer. The device interface across the user connector consists of a serial-data interface, DC power input, network available output and a power on/off control line.
The 9603 does not incorporate nor require a SIM card to be inserted into the transceiver. It is intended to be used as a transceiver module fitted within another host system.
