Integrating GSP-1620 Modems into OEM Products

The GSP-1620 modem is a sandwich made of two circuit card assemblies (CCAs) that are open and unprotected. As a result, the GSP-1620 modem must be shielded from direct impacts, precipitation, and particulates.

I/O is obtained through four connectors:

• Power, Data, and Control functions are accessed via a 25-pin “D” style connector.

• Globalstar RF transmit signals are routed to an MCX-style coaxial connector (labeled J3 on the board).

• Globalstar RF receive signals are routed to an MCX-style coaxial connector (labeled J7 on the board).

• The Diagnostic port interface is a 9-pin “D” style connector.
