Online Portal Integration with 3
rd
Parties
Your Iridium Extreme® also supports integration with 3
rd
party online
portals using short burst data (SBD). These 3
rd
party online portals provide
the ability to track your phone’s location online, see location history,
two-way message, set-up geofences, and coordinate scheduled check-
ins. This capability is helpful if you are managing a fleet of phones and
need to monitor workflow and/or safety with a solution that provides
more robust capabilities than standard messaging. For more information
about 3
rd
party online portal integration, contact your service provider or
visit http://www.iridiumextreme.com/how-to-buy/partnerportals.php for
available Portal Partners.
Your Service Provider or designated portal provider will be able to advise
you on the appropriate service package required to enable this capability.
This service must be provisioned separately. Registration of the device
can be managed from the “Location Options” section of the menu under
“Portal Options” to “Register” or obtain “Portal Status” of the phone and
information on your designated provider.
If Share is selected, the Share Location
Options will appear. The available
options are:
• Quick GPS – to send your location
to your preconfigured list of up
to five (5) contacts (see Quick GPS
List section for programming
instructions).
• New message – to append your
location to a new message, allowing
you to add additional text and then
address the message to a new or
existing contact.
