Setting up your Iridium Account
The Kilo makes use of the Iridium satellite system’s (www.iridium.com) Short Burst Data (SBD)
service for the 9602 transceivers. This service is a global, two-way, real-time, email-based data
delivery service that has a maximum out-bound (from beacon) message size of 340 bytes and a
maximum inbound (to beacon) message size of 270 bytes.
Kilo end-users must set up an approved data delivery account with their preferred service
provider. This can only be done once Xeos has provided the user with an International Mobile
Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. Each 9602 has a unique IMEI that must be registered with the
preferred service provider. For a list of service providers in your area please contact Iridium for
recommendations.
Xeos Technologies is also able to provide Iridium SBD data service and accounts. Please contact
