5.7 GPS/NMEA Repeater
The Optimizer supports USB and RS-232 NMEA devices allowing multiple applications to
share the GPS/NMEA data. If you have a NMEA RS-422 device, adding a RS-422 to RS-232
converter to your setup may allow the sharing of data.
The Optimizer does not transmit data but can be configured to receive and repeat GPS/NMEA
data from:
•
A broadband satellite terminal with integrated GPS when connected to the Optimizer
via a standard ethernet connection. (As of this writing, supported terminals include:
Iridium Pilot, Inmarsat FBB and Inmarsat BGAN).
•
A handheld satellite phone with integrated GPS when connected to the Optimizer with
the satphone's USB-Mini/Micro USB cable. (As of this writing, supported handheld
satphones include: Iridium 9575 Extreme and Inmarsat IsatPhonePro.)
WARNING:
IsatPhonePro users! The phone only transmits GPS coordinates about every 10
minutes. It is NOT recommended for navigation or any application that requires
real time data.
•
A USB connected GPS or NMEA device.
•
A serial port connected GPS or NMEA device
NOTE: If you are using a satellite phone with a serial port (RS-232) that transmits GPS
data (i.e. some fixed phones and fleet phones), it is NOT compatible with the
Optimizer. In order to repeat GPS data, a separate GPS device must be connected.
