SkyWave Mobile Communications has introduced the SureLinx™ 8100c Satellite/GPRS terminal. With an on-board computer (OBC), Controlled Area Network (CAN), RS485 and RS232 interfaces, this new product offers transportation and logistics managers a flexible and low-cost option for communicating with vehicles in both urban and remote locations. The SureLinx 8100c combines SkyWave’s IsatM2M™ satellite technology with worldwide cellular capabilities and intelligent message routing in a single integrated package. Designed to minimize networking costs, as well as increase communication reliability and coverage, SureLinx 8100c allows customers to take advantage of low cost, high-data rate GPRS networks in cellular regions and seamlessly switch to reliable satellite communication in other areas. The SureLinx 8100c is the only dual-mode service terminal with an on-board computer that uses Inmarsat’s global satellite service. Using C-programming language, customers can effortlessly create tailored applications. As SkyWave is the only service provider to offer IsatM2M on Inmarsat’s PAC-C satellite service at 142°W (which provides superb coverage in Western USA), the SureLinx 8100c is the only terminal that can offer the ability to track and monitor vehicles globally in near-real time without any interruption in service. Standard CAN interfaces allow the addition of engine monitoring capabilities to vehicle tracking applications. CAN is a highly prevalent data protocol for communicating between devices in the automotive, controls and industrial sector. It supports other communication protocols like SAE J1939 and CiA CANopen.
