DOCUMENT # HW-IS-0-0057: Revision 170905a | Geoforce Inc. 1. Description/Purpose The MYTE (SCC-002) device is a radio transmitter module that creates the radio frequency (RF) signals to relay small packets of data to the Globalstar Simplex Data Service satellite network. The MYTE serves as a communication gateway in an embedded application to send transmit-only (simplex) data. Data packets are in small, 9-byte segments. The MYTE supports 9, 18, 27 or 36-byte data payloads. The Globalstar Simplex Data Service comprises a set of low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites operating as bent-pipe data relay devices to ground earth data collection points. This specification stipulates the operational and physical requirements for the MYTE transmitter device that is compatible with this satellite network system. The MYTE device is the radio transmitter only and its integration must follow the follow basic guidelines/limitations. 1. The MYTE must be fully integrated into a larger OEM installation/application device to provide utility. 2. The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install module. 3. The module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed applications. This specification provides the physical, electrical and integration requirements to enable application development. The purpose of this document is to provide some notes on basic device integration for the MYTE transmitter module. 2. Scope This User/Integrators Guide applies only to the Geoforce MYTE transmitter.

DOCUMENT # HW-IS-0-0057: Revision 170905a | Geoforce Inc. 4. MYTE Device Overview The MYTE device is a radio transmitter module that contains the functionality to accept configuration and data from a host application and convey data to the Globalstar Simplex Data Service satellite system. FIGURE 1: MYTE APPROXIMATE SIZE 4.1. Satellite Messaging Method The MYTE device manages all the required messaging to be compliant to the Globalstar Simplex Data Service. The application interface need only configure the device once and send data to the MYTE using the I2C serial interface. The MYTE will queue the data to be sent and manage the process of transmitting the data to the satellite system. Because the messages are transmitted unsolicited and without the benefit of a two-way data link with the satellite system, each message is transmitted several times with a random delay component between transmits of roughly 7±2 minutes. Recommended configuration setting transmits each message three times with time delays between each transmission to allow for the satellite constellation to shift in position. The configuration parameters of the MYTE allow for adjustment of number of transmissions and time delays between transmissions. This overview is provided to briefly demonstrate how the MYTE functions in order for application developers to understand how the simplex system operates. Integrators should know that sending a message for transmit may therefore take up to 20 minutes to complete the transmit sequence. This does not mean that system latency is typically that long, but because the MYTE has no way to discern if the message was successful on first or subsequent attempts, it will repeat the message transmit per configuration setting. The satellite system will deliver the first received message captured, typically the first message and thus the probabilistic system latency is seconds, not minutes. Nevertheless, on rare occasions the system may miss the first message and the data packet will have a new chance for packet delivery success on subsequent trials.

DOCUMENT # HW-IS-0-0057: Revision 170905a | Geoforce Inc. 5. On-Air Interface The MYTE transmits data in a radio format compatible with the Globalstar Simplex Data Service. This section provides a brief overview of the operation of the network service. Greater detail can be found in the requirements definitions set forth by Globalstar. 5.1. RF Modulation The MYTE transmits data using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) carrier with a Binary Phase Shift Keyed (BPSK) data modulation. The MYTE can be configured to send data on one of four radio center frequencies. Globalstar operational requirements for channel usage must be observed by application developers. Generally, channel A is used for North American operations except where the device is in proximity of Radio Astronomy Sites (RAS), where channel C is prescribed. Use in other global regions uses channel C. The channels are specified as: RF Channel Channel A = 1611.25 MHz center frequency Channel B = 1613.75 MHz center frequency Channel C = 1616.25 MHz center frequency Channel D = 1618.75 MHz center frequency TABLE 1: RF CHANNELS IMPLEMENTED Nominal Transmit output power shall be 18 dBm ± 2 dB RMS overall operating conditions.
