M2M Connectivity Q4000 Orbcomm + Cellular + GPS modem

The Q4000 Orbcomm + Cellular + GPS modem is a compact, low-profile, flexible and user-friendly satellite modem integrated with a 50-channel GPS receiver and onboard microprocessor and memory. Other features include CAN bus, memory, antenna detection, multiple analog and digital inputs/outputs and relays.

The dual-mode modem is designed for fixed and mobile applications and provides economical global machine-to-machine communications with land-, marine- or aviation-based assets and equipment such as heavy machinery, trucks, ships and containers. It is also suitable for predictive maintenance, hours of service and DOT compliance. Isolated power substations and remote metering facilities can also be more effectively monitored and managed.

It has a turnkey application allowing users with simple tracking or monitoring requirements to build a dual-mode application. There is also an application programming interface which supports Quake Messaging Manager, a programming interface that enables programmers to develop their custom applications only once. Those applications, in turn, function regardless of the desired network or protocol, without the need for additional programming. Network selection is dynamic and user defined. The footprint, processing and interconnections remain constant, while the network is selected based on user-defined circumstances such as signal strength, cost, latency, geo-location, etc.
