Description
Function
The W820 Satellite Data terminal, specifically developed for the control of W810 radio buoys.
The W820 uses Iridium* LEO satellites network (Low Earth Orbit satellites) , formed by 66 satellites orbiting the Earth. This satellite network provides continuous coverage of the globe (including terrestrial poles) providing a latency of messages less than a minute.
RS442 link interface allows to realize connections – between the apparatus and computer – also of considerable length (over 500 meters) and also in conditions of strong electromagnetic interference.
The W820 Satellite Data Terminal can be controlled through software dedicated to W810 radio buoy, operates independently and is recognized as a network interface device.
