XBD: Theory of Operation
XBDs is Alert Geomatics cellular answer to the Iridium SBD. XBD utilizes the IP connection of the
cell modem to send short, low data remotely with your unit if you have a cellular modem
installed. XBDs have the advantage over SMS of having responses logged on our server for later
analysis or graphing. XBDs can also be sent to the unit from any country in the world without an
international texting plan, just using a local data plan. The Resolute schedules XBD message
checks using the scheduler. At a scheduled interval, the unit will check for messages at the Xeos
Online server. XBDs cannot be sent at the same time as a tunnel is scheduled. If an XBD message
check is scheduled during a tunnel connection, it will be executed upon the tunnel reaching its
end time. Any messages sent by the user between then last message check and the next message
check will wait on the Xeos Online server for the unit to check in. The unit requires an unlock
code in order for any message sent to the unit to issue a command to prevent undesired
command and control. Unlock codes are sent out to the provisioned addresses of the modem on
startup and each XBD after. Unlock codes are automatically included by XBDs generated by
XeosOnline.
