Transceiver |
 |
 |
|
|
 |
The
transceiver is a satellite communication terminal
mounted on the vehicle. It integrates a GPS receiver
and an omnidirectional antenna, enclosed in a rugged
and environmentally sealed housing. The GPS receiver
uses low orbit sun-synchronous satellites to pinpoints
the vehicle’s location and transmits its identification,
speed, date, time and performance data to the Monitoring
Station. These transceivers support global 2-way
communication enabling the system to send and receive
messages to and from any mobile or fixed asset whether
it’s on land, at sea or in the air. Businesses can
acquire useful information from assets such as a
truck, trailer, train, boat, buoy, an oil well head,
a valve, a propane tank etc and even control them
remotely. |

The
transceivers use Inmarsat’s satellite constellation
to provide bi-directional communication
between your assets and Star Technologies
monitoring station. Inmarsat is the world’s
leading satellite constellation with standardized
voice and data services approved around
the world.
The Inmarsat Satellite constellation uses
five "third generation" satellites located
in geo-synchronous stationary orbit, ‘35,786
km’ out in space, backed by four additional
second-generation satellites. Each satellite
covers up to one third of the Earth's surface
and is strategically positioned above one
of the four ocean regions to form a continuous
'world-wide web in the sky'. Together this
constellation of geosynchronous satellites
covers about 98% of the land mass area providing
global coverage. Submission and retrieval
of messages to and from Inmarsat transceivers
is via a secure SSL Internet connection
from a Star Technologies server. With StarWorld®,
your service is always on, always available,
anywhere and everywhere. |

Star
Technologies operates a terrestrial communication
network that leverages the seamless coverage of
the I arsat’ satellite constellation with the global
reach of the Internet to communicate with Star Technologies
transceivers directly from your desktop or server
based applications. |

Star
Technologies 24 hour active monitoring station
oversees the entire asset tracking process.
The monitoring station receives constant
updates from the vehicle which enables it
to display its position on a digitized roadmap
of the area. This data is uploaded on our
secure server to derive useful statistical
information about the vehicle. Fleet operators
can access this information from their desktop
or server based application, at all times. |
