This listing is for the core ORBCOMM ST6100 satellite terminal module, designed for permanent installation into your mobile or fixed assets. Supplied as a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) without an integrated battery, this unit is engineered for direct, hardwired power from a 9–32V DC source, making it ideal for vehicles, marine vessels, remote industrial equipment, and heavy machinery.
Key Features & Specifications:
-
Global Satellite Connectivity: Leverage the reliable ORBCOMM satellite network for true global coverage, including pole-to-pole connectivity, far beyond the reach of cellular networks.
-
Industrial Design: The PCB-only format allows for flexible, space-efficient integration into your custom enclosures or existing hardware. Rugged construction ensures reliable operation in harsh environments with wide temperature tolerance.
-
Wide Voltage Input (9–32V DC): Connects directly to standard vehicle/equipment electrical systems (12/24V) without needing a separate adapter. Perfect for automotive, trucking, rail, and maritime applications.
-
Optimized for Efficiency: With a maximum power consumption of 10W, the ST6100 is designed for minimal draw on your vehicle or asset’s power system. It transmits data efficiently to preserve power and reduce network costs.
-
Advanced Data & Messaging: Supports two-way data messaging, sensor integration (via digital & analog I/O), and industry-standard NMEA 0183 for seamless GPS data handling.
-
Integrated High-Performance GPS: Features a sensitive, built-in GPS receiver for accurate, reliable location reporting anywhere on the globe.
What’s Included & Ideal Use Case:
This listing includes the ORBCOMM ST6100 satellite modem PCB unit only. It does NOT include a battery, external housing, antennas, or cabling.
-
Ideal For: OEMs, system integrators, and developers who require a robust satellite modem core to build into their own proprietary tracking, monitoring, or Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication solutions.
-
Requires: A valid ORBCOMM service plan, a compatible satellite antenna (e.g., ST2403 or equivalent), and proper installation/integration for a 9–32V DC power source and necessary data connections.
Applications:
-
Transportation & Logistics: Long-haul trucking, railcar monitoring, intermodal containers.
-
Heavy Equipment & Machinery: Construction, mining, and agricultural equipment tracking.
-
Maritime & Offshore: Vessel tracking, buoy monitoring, fisheries management.
-
Remote Industrial Monitoring: Oil & gas, utility, pipeline, and environmental sensors.
-
Fixed Asset Monitoring: In remote areas lacking cellular coverage.
