Orbcomm‘s new, state-of-the-art ST 2100 is a satellite communications device enabling IoT solution providers to deliver unlimited and affordable connectivity to customers, as well as enhanced reliability, improved asset visibility and access to new markets and geographies. The versatile device features a built-in antenna that enables solution providers to extend their IoT and M2M applications beyond cellular coverage.
The ST 2100 is designed for quick integration into IoT applications with minimal development. This device enables two-way satellite communications and reliable global coverage, including areas with limited cellular connectivity as a sole communications device or as a backup.
The ST 2100 provides a smaller footprint and a more flexible installation configuration compared to previous devices, such as the IDP-280.
An optional internal super capacitor maximizes reliability by allowing “last-gasp” messages to be sent, enabling continued operation during temporary power loss. A built-in GNSS module allows global location tracking and reporting. Over the air satellite updates allow the ST 2100 to receive new firmware versions, without having to send a technician on site. Other over the air capabilities include the option to use the ST 2100 to remotely reset devices and equipment.
Additionally, the device features an M12 connector for easy integration into new and existing solutions, while retaining the command set from its predecessor for a seamless upgrade.
The rugged and environmentally sealed ST 2100 is designed for use in fixed and mobile asset applications across various industries such as fleet management, maritime and utilities.
With a broad set of integration tools the Starter Kit provides tools for the solution development cycle — from development to testing and production, and includes the device, a simulation environment, an interface development board and more.
