ORBCOMM Satellite Transceiver Set
Vaisala has integrated the satellite communication media called
ORBCOMM with the HydroMet™ systems. Vaisala HydroMet™
systems support operation with the Panasonic KX-67101 transceiver.
The ORBCOMM system uses Low-Earth-Orbiting (LEO) satellite,
enabling the use of low power and small antenna in the transmitter
terminals.
The ORBCOMM transmitters offer a low cost and robust way of
transmitting data from remote sites almost in real-time. There is no need
to install costly direct ground receiving stations. The local ORBCOMM
operators offer a service where the data is transmitted to the users via
Internet or via dedicated lines directly from their Gateway Earth
Stations.
