SHOUT sp User Guide, Rev B.1
11
The SHOUT sp contains an Iridium 9523 L-band transceiver module capable of SBD
connectivity to the Iridium satellite network. When used as a messaging and
tracking device, its function is to send GPS reports and text messages to a network
operation center (NOC). While deployed in the field, the SHOUT sp can also accept
real-time text messages and commands from a NOC. For Iridium services, the
SHOUT sp can be provisioned by NAL Research or any certified Iridium airtime
service provider including DoD DISA EMSS office.
A NOC can be a sophisticated central monitoring center equipped with servers
connected to high-speed networks or a NOC can be as simple as a handheld mobile
device, a laptop, or a desktop attached to the Internet, to an Iridium transceiver or
to any wireless network. A NOC is required to receive and implement the logic
necessary for analyzing the SHOUT sp messages and determine the appropriate
response.
Upon request, NAL Research can provide Server for Trackers software allowing user
installation on their NOCs for the retrieval of NAL Research’s formatted GPS reports
from the remote SHOUT sp. In addition, the program will let a NOC communicate
with modems attached to its serial ports, communicate with POP3/SMTP servers,
communicate with Iridium SBD DirectIP servers, and/or act as a RUDICS
server/client to support incoming and outgoing communications with the SHOUT sp.
Under special cases and with a signed NDA, NAL Research will release our
proprietary GPS report formats for developers to implement into their own tracking
software.
