SBD Transceiver

Iridium 9602

The SBD Game Changer

This next-generation

Short Burst Data (SBD) is ideal for tracking, monitoring, and alarms – everywhere.

A breakthrough in cost and �exibility

Ideal for M2M Iridium® 9602 is a next-generation SBD Transceiver from Iridium. Designed for integration into complete wireless solutions, it provides the critical global data communications necessary for today’s global solutions.

The small size, low-cost and ease of integration make Iridium 9602 ideal for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions such as automatic vehicle location, asset monitoring, marine and personal tracking applications.

Leverages Iridium SBD Service Iridium 9602 is designed to exclusively support Iridium’s Short Burst Data Service.

Authorized Iridium partners can create high value vertical market solutions using the combination of Iridium 9602 and SBD Service that include: low latency service, small transceiver, small antenna, and global coverage.

Iridium SBD Service provides:

• Mobile Originated messages:

up to 340 bytes

• Mobile Terminated messages:

up to 270 bytes

• Low, uniform, end-to-end global latency:

less than 1 minute

How It Works A single-board core transceiver, Iridium 9602 provides solution developers with the ability to integrate additional end-user functions such as GPS, microprocessor-based logic control, digital and analog inputs and outputs, power supply and antenna. The Iridium 9602 transceiver does not incorporate or require a SIM card.

Its device interface consists of a serial interface, power input, network available output and power on/o� control line.

Iridium 9602's robust design makes it ideal for solutions in personnel and asset tracking, �eet management, environment and safety monitoring, and remote automation and control.

Designed, certi�ed, manufactured and sold by Iridium – and compliant with industry standards in North America and Europe – it can be integrated into a variety of wireless data applications.

Iridium 9602 is uniquely designed to support the Iridium’s Short Burst Data service, backed by unmatched network quality and deployed in mission critical applications, everywhere.
