Digi International has introduced the m10 JumpStart kit, claimed to be the first kit to provide the tools, including ORBCOMM trial satellite service, for users to build satellite-enabled products.
Suitable for transport, asset tracking and other applications where mobile coverage is inconsistent but access to remote data is important, the kits make satellite communications more accessible and easier to deploy.
Operating on the ORBCOMM low-earth orbit satellite network, the kits enable M2M communication with global coverage, allowing companies to monitor and manage remote assets in locations where mobile or other land-based communications are not available.
