UPDATE - ORBCOMM Launches Next-Generation, Dual-Mode ST 9100 Terminal for Diverse IoT Applications
November 10 2020 - 10:41AM
ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq: ORBC), a global provider of Internet of
Things (IoT) solutions, today announced that it has launched the ST
9100, a next-generation, dual-mode telematics device targeted for
monitoring and controlling assets in the most remote geographies
around the world. The versatile device can be utilized for a wide
variety of IoT applications such as vehicle security, fleet
management, vessel monitoring, fisheries management as well as the
remote monitoring of equipment in the oil & gas, construction
and utilities sectors.
ORBCOMM’s ST 9100 is future-proof, enabling
multi-network connectivity over cellular networks using LTE
capabilities with 3G and 2G fallback and reliable low-latency
satellite communications as needed to provide cost-effective,
ubiquitous coverage. An embedded ORBCOMM global SIM enables
cellular connectivity on over 565 cellular networks, facilitating
deployment in nearly any region of the world regardless of the
connectivity option. The new device features a larger backup
battery, which allows for uninterrupted operation when an external
power failure has occurred for a minimum of 48 hours for improved
reliability and performance. ORBCOMM enhanced its next-generation
device with additional inputs and outputs and serial interfaces,
greater memory as well as a dual CANbus that allows customers to
monitor and control different electronic control units over various
protocols. The ruggedized, environmentally sealed device is also
built to withstand extreme temperatures, shock and vibration and is
rated to IP67 for ingress protection
Utilizing the device’s flexible programming
environment via the Lua framework, ORBCOMM’s partners can easily
customize their solutions to fulfill customers’ needs or use
ORBCOMM’s configurable terminal apps to accelerate time to
market. The device’s comprehensive development kit includes the
hardware, software development tools, documentation, accessories
and support to write and test an IoT solution and facilitate
deployment.
“ORBCOMM’s next-generation terminal leverages
our expertise developing dual-mode solutions and features
significant enhancements that improve the longevity and
functionality of this robust product,” said Craig Malone, ORBCOMM’s
Executive Vice President of Product Development. “The new device
offers a flexible programming environment that enables ORBCOMM and
its resellers to quickly develop solutions targeted for customized
IoT applications and allows the unique ability to automatically
switch between sending messages over satellite and cellular,
ensuring continuous and cost-effective communication.”
In addition, the ORBCOMM device features a
reliable Bluetooth 5.0 connection that enables the use of ORBCOMM’s
portfolio of sensors, including door, temperature, identification
and more, as well as third-party sensors. Using their own mobile
applications, customers can also visualize key data from the field
to act upon or send messages from their mobile devices through the
device via Bluetooth. Another value-added benefit of Bluetooth
connectivity is that technicians can use their own mobile phone or
tablet in the field for wirelessly configuring, troubleshooting and
ensuring that the device is properly installed and functioning.
