where the mobile device must be pointed toward a specific direction in
the sky. Geostationary satellites also orbit at a much higher altitude
and move along the equator.
Messages are transmitted from the SMARTONE via the Globalstar Simplex
Satellite Network using an uplink-only connection (one-way data
transmission) and received by a Globalstar Simplex Ground Station. The
messages are then sent via an HTTP or FTP server to the internet and
received by the VAR or end customer’s back office application and
converted into actionable data.
The SMARTONE will send each message 3 times to insure that the message
has been received by the Globalstar Satellite Constellation. Once
Globalstar receives the message, any remaining duplicate messages are
ignored and discarded (VAR or end user account is only charged for 1
transmission).

compartment is accessible from the top of the device by removing the six
slotted screws. Remove the water-tight cover and insert the batteries
