ST 9100 - HARDWARE GUIDE 1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW The ST 9100 is a flexible, robust, and programmable dual mode satellite-cellular terminal. It is ideal for remotely monitoring and controlling fixed and portable assets in industries as diverse as transportation, oil and gas, utilities, maritime and more. The versatile, environmentally sealed ST 9100 is ideal for rugged environments in the world’s most remote areas. The ST 9100 (Figure 1) is a satellite-cellular terminal.
ST 9100 - HARDWARE GUIDE Figure 1: ST 9100 Satellite-Cellular Transceiver The transceiver’s built-in programmability allows it to work as a standalone data-messaging transceiver, with built-in I/O data collection and processing capabilities. Feature-rich software tools make programming easy and shorten the design and testing time. The transceiver can also be configured with terminal apps.
ST 9100 - HARDWARE GUIDE Figure 2: System Architecture The satellite-cellular terminal is based on Lua software and is supported by a suite of IsatData Pro tools, enabling SPs a programmable platform they can tailor to their specific applications. 1.2 Terminal Note: Hardware components may not be exactly as shown in this document. A terminal consists of a transceiver unit plus antennas.
ST 9100 - HARDWARE GUIDE 1.3.1 Transceiver Unit Each transceiver is a self-contained unit, including a satellite/cellular modem, a multi-GNSS module, programmable microcontroller, and multiple discrete and analog I/Os (input/output) capable of monitoring and controlling external sensors and devices. Ideal for mobile applications, it is also suitable for fixed installations. Arranging the transceiver unit’s connectors (Figure 3) at one end of the unit simplifies installation.
ST 9100 - HARDWARE GUIDE 1.3.2 Satellite Antenna The satellite-cellular tranceivers’s satellite antenna is waterproof and designed to operate in extreme environments. It has four mounting flanges for installation. The satellite antenna connects to the transceiver using a 5 m (16 foot) cable terminated with a curry yellow colored FAKRA RF connector. The satellite-cellular transceiver is available with either the standard satellite antenna (Figure 6) or the low elevation satellite antenna (Figure 7).
