Smallest Iridium satellite transceiver, in distribution
Aimed at markets where remote asset monitoring is essential but challenging, the Roger ITAS enables equipment-makers to use satellite communications to replace or complement other wireless technologies. It can also enable remote connectivity where this isn’t currently possible or feasible.
Typical uses could include oil and gas, mining, maritime, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), fleet monitoring and other telematics applications, especially when transporting high value items across large expanse with limited cellular coverage.
Designed for optimal ease-of-use, the Roger ITAS typically requires no changes to an existing device design; only minor modifications to the host device’s firmware are needed. And because the Roger ITAS doesn’t alter the physical hardware design of the host device, there’s no need to go through regulatory re-approval.
In a footprint of 96.8 x 71.8 x 20 mm (31 mm in total to the base of the thread) it incorporates Iridium’s latest 9603 satellite modem. It can operate at 75% relative humidity (RH) and between temperatures of –40°C and +85°C.
Alpha Micro adds, “When you’re operating or monitoring assets in remote locations, cellular and other wireless technologies don’t always give the comprehensive coverage you need. The AMC Roger ITAS is an easy way to add connectivity for those times in locations where there’s no alternative.”
