(NOC)
The SHOUT ts comprises a 9602 module capable of Short-Burst Data (SBD) connectivity to
the Iridium satellite network. 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 ts can also accept real-time text messages and commands from a NOC.
For Iridium services, the SHOUT ts can be provisioned by NAL Research or any certified
Iridium airtime service provider, including DoD Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)
EMSS office.
A NOC can be a sophisticated central monitoring center equipped with servers connected to
high-speed networks. A NOC can also 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 ts
messages and determine the appropriate response.
