The ST100 is the latest revolutionary product
introduction to Satellite Commercial IoT Embedded Solutions from
Globalstar
Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT) today
introduced the ST100, an innovative, embeddable, one-way Satellite
Transmitter ready for rapid product development and manufacturing
in the global marketplace. The ST100 is lightweight, low power and
small with embedded antennas, all on one commercial IoT board. The
ST100 provides low cost, reliable connectivity that is powered by
the Globalstar Satellite Network low earth orbit (LEO)
constellation, providing SATCOM integration capability to any
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) product.
The ST100 is the newest addition to the Globalstar commercial
IoT embedded solutions product line following predecessors, STX3
and STINGR satellite transmitters. These embedded technologies are
ideal for delivering remote sensing, tracking, and monitoring of
field applications across industrial and remote operations. As the
sole provider of global connectivity for products that are
developed with the ST100, Globalstar Embedded Solutions don’t
require any additional ground infrastructure for data exchange,
reducing costs typically associated with traditional connectivity
while saving more than half the typical time to production. Because
the ST100 operates on the Globalstar Satellite Network, one
solution works everywhere without multiple country service
contracts or roaming fees.
The ST100 Satellite Transmitter offers a customizable approach
to new commercial IoT product innovations and can be used by simply
adding power, a mechanical enclosure and configuring the settings
within the device firmware. For more advanced technical
requirements, third parties can write their own firmware on the
ST100 and utilize Globalstar APIs, Bluetooth® wireless technology
and the serial connector to expand the use of the board and
integrate with other devices or hardware.
“The Globalstar ST100 is highly versatile and provides global
coverage through an all in one, small IoT board designed
specifically for rapid development and easy integration,” said
Chris Gray, Vice President of Emerging Technologies at Globalstar.
“Originally designed for ear tags on cattle, a small size with a
lightweight design was key and created new opportunities to use the
ST100 in many different industry markets and remote operations. A
demo program with select partners across the globe has proven the
ability to bring new products to market in a very short time
period.”
