Enabling mainstream satellite development
The Digi m10 JumpStart Kit has been designed to allow users to quickly build satellite enabled products and is suitable for applications where cellular coverage is inconsistent, but access to remote data is important.
The kit includes ORBCOMM trial satellite service, enabling users to operate on the ORBCOMM low earth orbit and m2m communication with global coverage capacity. This potentially allows customers to monitor and manage remote assets deployed in locations where cellular or other land based communications are not available.
Larry Kraft, Digi International's senior vice president of global sales and marketing, said: "For the first time, organisations interested in deploying satellite have access to a cost effective, easy to use, turn key solution. Our kits make it easier than ever to deploy low cost satellite connectivity for m2m applications such as relaying diagnostic information on trucks, trailers, heavy equipment, utility meters, marine vessels and other remote assets."
