What is the RST100?
The RST100 is a Remote Satellite Terminal designed to provide a reliable and cost
effective telephone or data service connection when a wired connection is not
available. It does this by providing a standard interface to the Iridium network — a
satellite-based, wireless communications network that enables remote
communication. The RST100 allows the connection of standard telephone handsets
and other telecommunications devices.
The RST100 uses the Iridium L-Band transceiver to gain access to the Iridium
network and make available the ability to communicate almost anywhere in the world.
The RST100 emulates the functionality of the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN). It includes two wire voice connections, a Hayes compatible modem,
providing a serial socket for a computer, a socket for the connection of a plug-pack
type mains power supply and a connection to an external antenna.
The RST100 provides a serial control interface and audio input and outputs by way of
the transceiver’s control and connection interface.
The RST100 from Beam Communications brings you all the convenience and ease
of use of a normal wired telephone anywhere in the world using the Iridium Satellite
phone system. It also brings you a data connection and SMS access without having
to buy a modem. It is all included in the RST100.
