GW16130

GW16130 is a Mini-PCIe satellite modem radio adapter that provides cost-effective, short burst satellite connectivity for asset tracking, fleet management, telemetry, oceanographic data, grid monitoring and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The GW16130 features an Iridium 9603N satellite transceiver which allows two-way communications anywhere in the world with a clear line of sight to the sky. The Iridium network consists of 66 satellites and provides 24/7 world wide coverage. The 9603N module is used for short burst data packets (340bytes uplink, 270bytes downlink) and perfect for IoT remote sensor applications with minimal non-real-time data requirements. The GW16130 adapter will work in a full size Mini-PCIe socket that includes a USB 2.0 interface. Serial communications to the module is through an on-board FTDI USB to UART bridge. All power conditioning circuitry is contained on the board in addition to an U.FL antenna connector for connecting an external satellite antenna.
