Description
Global Satellite Data Connectivity
The SBD Warrior uses the Iridium 9603N transceiver to provide two-way Short Burst Data communications over the Iridium satellite network. With truly global coverage, it enables devices to exchange critical data even in remote locations where cellular infrastructure is unavailable. This makes it well suited for monitoring mobile and fixed assets across land, sea, and polar regions.
Integrated GNSS and Controller Functions
More than a satellite modem, the SBD Warrior includes a high-performance multi-constellation GNSS receiver and onboard microcontroller. It can collect location data, interface with external sensors, and control connected equipment through configurable digital and analog I/O.
Typical applications include:
- Fleet and vehicle tracking
- Remote asset monitoring
- Environmental monitoring
- Industrial automation
- Telemetry systems
- Autonomous vehicles and drones
Built for OEM Integration
The compact enclosure and convenient DB15 interface simplify integration into new or existing systems. Developers can communicate using an extended AT command set, while the controller provides UART communication, GPIO, ADC inputs, switched power output for external sensors, and transient voltage protection for demanding automotive and industrial environments.
Low Power for Long-Term Deployments
Designed for continuous field operation, the SBD Warrior features extremely low standby power consumption, helping extend battery life in solar-powered and remote installations. Its wide 7–28 VDC input range allows integration into a variety of mobile and fixed platforms without additional power conditioning.
