IsatData Pro
• Global, two-way
satellite service
• Fully acknowledged
• Low power operation
• Multicasting
IsatData Pro
meets the
increasing
demand for
richer information
in remote M2M
applications.
• Maximum message
size
• 6,400 bytes to
device
• 10,000 bytes from
device
• Latency
• 100 bytes < 15s
• 1000 bytes < 45s

Lua programmable
Over the air
configuration and
software update
Server Applications talk
application data types
Remote Devices talk bit-field
data, and can be very chatty
Power can be a scarce or
intermittent resource
Data volume affects latencies
and communications cost, eats battery
Mobility limits size and antenna
