The dual-mode ST 9100 is ORBCOMM‘s next-generation satellite-cellular terminal for IoT and M2M applications.
The versatile devices is designed to be future proof, with multi-network connectivity using LTE as well as 3G and 2G fallback. Satellite connectivity for the device is powered by Inmarsat‘s IsatData Pro network, allowing cost-effective and ubiquitous coverage, even in the most remote regions. The ST 9100 comes equipped with a global SIM, allowing access to a network of cellular service providers, alongside a second slot if you prefer to bring your own SIM card.
New features include an expanded backup battery, additional inputs and outputs, larger memory and a ruggedized exterior with an IP67 rating, allowing the device to continue operating in the harshest environments. The addition of Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity allows integration with new sensors, as well as the ability to troubleshoot devices in the field via mobile app. The programmable terminal uses the Lua framework to customize and enhance the functionality of the device.
This next generation device is purpose-built to support a variety of IoT applications. The device is designed for use in applications that range from fleet management, vessel and fisheries management, oil & gas equipment monitoring, heavy equipment asset monitoring, electrical utility management, smart agriculture and more.
With a broad set of integration tools, the ORBCOMM Development Kit provides tools for the complete solution development cycle—from development to testing and production—and includes a terminal, a simulation environment, an interface development board and more. The ST 9100 can be programmed to support a wide range of applications and customer requirements. Use it in tandem with ORBCOMM configurable applications for more basic deployments or loaded with custom scripts for more complex installations.
