IRIDIUM SBD SERVICE

Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) service is a data service that enables you to cost-effectively send and receive short data transactions efficiently over the Iridium network.

The Iridium SBD Service is designed to send data messages that on average are typically less than 300 bytes. Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) Service is an efficient network protocol designed for shorter sized data messages and uses a proprietary network protocol to transfer data messages to and from the remote terminal. Specific Iridium SBD applications may include:

• Flight following for aircraft and helicopters
• Tracking and messaging for maritime vessels
• Tracking of mobile land based assets such as trucks and heavy equipment Monitoring of equipment on oil and gas pipelines
• Monitoring of equipment of water, gas and electric utility distribution networks Application usage for Iridium SBD would be optimal for the following markets: oil, gas, research studies, rail, maritime, aeronautical, and utility industries as well as applications in the government and military sectors.

Features SBD is transmitted to your Iridium system via a RS232 serial port.

• Mobile Originated (MO-SBD) Message size is between 1 and 1960 bytes.
• Mobile Terminated (MT-SBD) Message size is between 1 and 1890 bytes. (0 byte messages are referred to as "mailbox checks.")

Global network transmit latency for delivery of messages ranges from approximately 5 seconds for short messages to approximately 20 seconds for maximum length messages. This latency is the elapsed time before the Iridium SBD system sends the SBD message to its e-mail destination. Additional latency introduced by the Internet or the customer's host system is not in Iridium's control.

Iridium SBD Delivery Methods

You have three SBD delivery methods and can list 5 total delivery addresses.

• Email: all SBD messages are delivered via email
• IP:PORT
• Another SBD IMEI device

Turing on/off SBD GEO data
The SBD GEO data determined by the Iridium satellite network can be included with the message if your are not sending GPS data in the SBD message already. (accurate to about 15 miles)

SBD Ring Alert
The Iridium Gateway will send a 'Ring Alert' to the Transceiver when a Mobile Terminated SBD (MT-SBD) message has been queued at the Iridium SBD Gateway. Your mobile application can then decide whether to retrieve the MT-SBD data message at that time or later.
