The CST88 is a compact satellite transceiver that provides 88 Kbps bi-directional data transfer for comms-on-the-move. The CST88 module works with the Iridium® satellite constellation and provides real-time data service to any location on the globe. Because Iridium is a Low-Earth Orbit constellation, the link margins to maintain a full speed connection can be done with small omni-directional antennas, eliminating the need for satellite tracking or high-power transmitters. Produced under a license agreement with Iridium, this transceiver sits at a midpoint between Iridium’s narrowband and high-bandwidth products. Speeds of up to 88 Kbps provide enough bandwidth to support full-motion video, multiple voice channels, or just a data stream in a size, weight, and power (SWaP) that can support man-portable, unattended sensors, UAV, and other SWaP sensitive applications.
