2.1 DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
The DSAT-300 offers automatic position reporting and sending of messages via mobile devices running RDA or
STS Messenger software (requires Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Access Point adapter). Data can be sent from the aircraft to
any point in the world via Iridium® Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Present position and selectable operational
messages from the aircraft can be displayed on any computer with Internet access and SKYTRAC software.
Position reporting intervals are user defined and configurable within the Hardware Management section of SkyWeb.
Base software displays current and historical position data including latitude, longitude, GPS time, relative position
(to a known way point), ground speed, altitude and heading, in tabular format and on a map.
