and will always have their code name (ex. Transfer OK) next to

Message Size (bytes)
The size of the actual message sent by the Iridium device,
which is in the attachment in the email.
*Unit Location
The Doppler position of the device as estimated by Iridium’s
network. It is
NOT
the GPS position measured by the device.
*CEPradius = 2
The numerical value of how accurate the above position is;
with a value of 2,
This means that using the Lat/Long that the
body has supplied, Iridium is 80% confident (always 80%) that
the device sending the message is within a circle, 2 kilometers
in radius, with the Lat/Long given as the centre of that circle.
The higher the CEPradius value, the larger the circle and
therefore the less accurate that position.
*These items can be enabled/disabled by your Iridium provider if desired.
Global Positioning System
Location information generated by the device itself is embedded in the SBD attachment sent via
the Iridium Gateway and can only be seen through the Xeos Online system or situations where
the position information is sent in a plain-text format (XeosOnline message forwarder or using
the $msgenable command). This position information is accurate to within several feet of the
true position.
Additional Models
ROBY
The ROBY model is a modified Rover unit, designed for surface
tracking of oil spills. The ROBY incorporates a highly visible
urethane foam float and user-configured watch circle
functionality to keep track of spill movement.
The ROBY functions identically to the Rover except for the
removal of the inverted alarm mode and
Therefore, the ROBY will transmit consistently from either end
until it has exited its designated Watch Circle area.
