NEW GTTS-2000B Iridium SBD Tracker |
The GTTS-2000B modem reports GPS location and speed at defined time intervals over Iridium SBD network to your PC/server. The reporting time intervals are controlled by an integrated motion sensor which distinguishes driving/sailing from stand still. Reporting frequency and other settings are “Over The Air” reconfigurable. The GTTS-2000B can send approximately 3650 messages from one battery. If the GTTS-2000B is removed from the steel surface, it will send a tamper message and will switch itself off. For more information on the GTTS-2000B Iridium modem click here. |

Tech Tip |
Tech Tip: IP Manager for Sierra Wireless AirLink modem Most of ISPs provide dynamic public IP address which changes often. For applications such as remote management, changing IP address is significant issue where you can’t keep track of the changing IP address on the device in field. IP manager is a free service offered by Sierra Wireless on AirLink products (Raven XE, GX400 routers) which translates Sierra Wireless AirLink modem’s dynamic IP address to a fully qualified domain name, thus enabling you contact your modem (ALEOS powered) directly from internet using a domain name. Example: You can remotely access your AirLink router using Domain name m2mconnectivity.earlink.com. |
