7 INTEGRATING GSP-1620 MODEMS

INTO OEM PRODUCTS

OEMs can buy QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1620 Satellite Data Modems in bulk direct from QUALCOMM, then integrate them into market-specific products. Bulk modems come with antennas, but not cables.

As an OEM, you provide custom modem and antenna cables as appropriate to your specific products. You must also mount the modem boards in protective enclosures, which field technicians can then install on-site, connected to antennas.

This chapter is intended for

OEMs who integrate GSP-1620 modem hardware into products (for example, oil pipeline monitors)

Field technicians who install those products on site

It is assumed that OEMs and field technicians can work directly from the technical specifications. This chapter contains the following information:

Integrating modems into products

Hardware description of the modem, including mechanical descriptions; specifications; Data, Control and Diagnostic port signaling and pinouts; DC power; and grounding information

Guidelines for mounting modems in enclosures

Mounting antennas on-site
