1 Introduction
1.1
Overview
Welcome to the
QUAKE
™
QPRO Satellite + GPRS/GSM Global Communication modem!
The QUAKE
QPRO is a complete IP67 enclosed solution ready for global use. The QPRO is designed to communicate
with GSM terrestrial network systems when a cell signal is available, and to slide seamlessly into its back-up
mode and communicate with a Satellite System when a cell signal is not available. Besides this advanced
modem functionality, the QPRO has additional processing power, memory, and I/Os that allow sophisticated
customer applications to run within the modem. Using an integrated power regulator, the QPRO is designed
to operate over a 6-32 volt input range. It has been specifically designed to meet the demanding
requirements of vehicular environments and directly supports communication over a vehicle bus using the
SAE J1939 standards. These features make the QPRO an ideal stand-alone solution for a large variety of
applications including transportation, oil and gas and heavy equipment markets.
This Data Sheet presents an overview of the QPRO technology, device specifications, integration guidelines,
and basic information on configuring and programming. Additional QUAKE manuals, including the User’s
Guide to Q4000/QPRO, P/N 1135-4713, can be accessed on our website or by contacting QUAKE Customer

1.2
Control Options
The QPRO has the option of running in
standalone mode
or
QUAKE Communications Protocol (QCP)
mode
.
In standalone mode, the user’s application resides directly on the modem. QUAKE provides three sample
applications as part of the Development Kit to help users create, build and run their own custom applications.
QCP mode is used to send data via GSM/GPRS, or a single Satellite System such as Orbcomm, Iridium or
Globalstar. Customers who use the Q4000/QPRO in this mode typically have a processor, and the
necessary I/O for their specific applications, and use the Q4000/QPRO as a modem only, or to add
functionality such as addition I/O’s, GPS, etc. The QUAKE Communication Protocol (QCP) is used to
communicate between the QPRO and the application.
