Stellar Satellite Communications has launched the DS300-D and DS400 dual-mode ORBCOMM satellite and GSM communicators. The DS300-D features expansion ports that allow the addition of external GSM and Zigbee wireless modules. The DS400, on the other hand, incorporates GSM and Zigbee wireless communication devices and a DS100 satellite subscriber communicator in a single enclosure.
While the DS300-D is designed mostly for high-value asset tracking, the DS400 is specifically designed for heavy equipment and fleet management applications.
The new subscriber communicators bring together the global coverage of ORBCOMM's low-earth orbit satellite network with the higher-bandwidth capabilities of GSM cellular data networks.
