Published:  16 March, 2010

Solid State Supplies is offering Digi's m10 satellite modem, providing worldwide satellite data transmit and receive capabilities for a wide variety of asset-tracking and industrial remote communication applications. Operating on the ORBCOMM low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite network, it is designed to enable Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication with virtually unlimited global coverage and no blockage.

Built on Digi's own patented mixed-signal chip designed and tailored for satellite applications, the m10 offers quick and simple product design integration through its integrated serial UART interface. With full support for industrial operating temperature (-40 to 85C) and operational shock/vibration specifications exceeding SAE J1455, it is suitable for reliable and highly cost-efficient satellite connectivity in even the most demanding applications.

Other features include an extremely compact form factor of just 7.49 x 4.60 x 1.32 cm, plus low power operation with nominal transmit power just 5W. Input voltage is +9 to 18VDC. The module can be mounted directly onto a PCB or connected by cable.
