1 Product Overview
The 9522A L-Band Transceiver (9522A) is designed to be integrated
into a specific application with other hardware and software to produce
a solution designed for a specific application or vertical market. Some
examples of these solutions include a maritime voice telephony terminal
or a vehicle tracking solution.
The 9522A functionally supports all of Iridium’s voice and data services.
Applications can be built to use one or multiple services using the voice
and data interfaces. The 9522A is a functional replacement to the 9522
“Sebring” L-Band Transceiver. However it should be noted that there are
some differences to the voice interface.
The 9522A is regulatory approved for FCC, Canada, and CE. This
allows the 9522A to be integrated into a variety of subscriber products,
or retrofitted into existing L-Band Transceiver based products. These
products, when integrated together will require Regulatory testing to be
conducted by the integrator. Please note that the 9522A is only
approved for use with an antenna that has a gain of ≤ 3 dBi.
The 9522A is essentially provided as a ‘black box’ with all interfaces
provided via a DB25 connector. The product provides the core trans-
ceiver module and SIM card reader. All other functions and hardware
such as keypad, display, power supply, antenna etc. must be provided
by the solution developer. The DB25 provides the following interfaces
and connections:
• Analog Audio
• Control / Digital Audio
• RS232
• Power Input
• On / Off
