Click2Contact

The IESM daughterboard for the FXT003/009 modem offers flexibility by including a high-accuracy GPS module (Sierra Wireless XM0110 SiRFstar 4 GPS chip) together with two additional serial ports.

Developed to allow users to add a second satellite communications link and connect other hardware to the Fastrack Xtend, the board extends the use of the modem beyond cellular coverage without the need to move to a whole new platform.

By using the Q9612 Iridium SBD modem or the Q1200 Orbcomm 2-way modem, satellite can then be used as a back-up communications link on the Fastrack Xtend 3G or GPRS modem satellite.

A configuration software option for the FXT modem which allows set-up of LCR rules for managing data will also be offered.

The board comes with a custom backplate for the FXT modem and a dual serial cable.
