Iridium 1.2Iridium’s network is a global satellite data solution, with complete coverage of the earth (including continental, ocean, and Polar Regions). Iridium delivers low latency, essential communications services to and from remote areas where no other form of communication is available. The Iridium constellation of 66 low-earth orbiting (LEO) satellites operates as a fully meshed network. It is one of the largest commercial satellite constellations in the world. The Iridium service is ideally suited for industries such as maritime, aviation, government, emergency/humanitarian services, mining, forestry, oil and gas, heavy equipment, transportation and utilities. Short Burst Data (SBD) 1.3Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) Service is an efficient network protocol designed for shorter-sized data messages that can be economically sent via Iridium Circuit Switched Data Services. SBD uses a proprietary network protocol to transfer data messages to and from the remote terminal. Currently, the QLOCATE supports only Iridium’s SBD service. It is possible to send Mobile Originated (MO-SBD) and Mobile Terminated (MT-SBD) messages. Message sizes for:  MO-SBD are between 0 and 340 bytes;  MT-SBD are between 1 and 270 bytes. Note: Note:

CONFIDENTIAL Information classified Confidential - Do not copy (See last page for obligations) Page 4 2.1 Operating modes 2.1.1 Power OFF The QLOCATE is no longer functional when input power is removed. 2.1.2 Power ON The QLOCATE is ON when input voltage to the modem is applied. 2.1.2.1 RF Receive/Idle The QLOCATE alternates between the idle state and receiving receive bursts. In Receive mode: The RF and digital signal processor portions of the modem are active, and GPS is not active. In Idle mode: The required input power along with the assertion of the ON/OFF signal (Pin 5) must not be present; GPS will be active. 2.1.2.2 Transmit The QLOCATE is sending an outgoing SBD message. The QLOCATE may also query the Iridium system in a search for incoming messages (see AT Command Set manual for sequence and commands and section 8 - AT Command Set Description). 2.1.3 Switch from Iridium to GPS/GLONASS The QLOCATE alternates between Iridium and GPS/GLONASS. To enter GPS/GLONASS mode, the required input power along with the ON/OFF signal (Pin 5) must be low. The NMEA data will subsequently be sent to the Rx port.

CONFIDENTIAL Information classified Confidential - Do not copy (See last page for obligations) Page 5 Ensure that all power pins and ground pins are connected externally. 3 Input/Output interfaces 3.1 Interface connector The QLOCATE has a 20 pin interface connector. The pinout is shown in Table 3-1 and the limits for the digital signals are listed in Table 3-2. The connector contains several supply grounds; all supply and supply grounds must be connected to the power supply to ensure that the current on any one pin is limited. Cross-talk is reduced through the use of multiple signal grounds. The interface connector provides the following connections to the QLOCATE:  DC power supply input  Power on/off control  Serial data interface  Network available output  Supply power indicator output 3.1.1 Type The connector on the QLOCATE is a Samtec low-profile header connector, part number FTSH-110-01-L-DV. This connector makes a stackable board-to-board configuration possible, enabling connection to the host system motherboard. A suitable motherboard female socket that matches this connector is the SAMTEC header, part number CLP-110-02-L-D. See the Samtec website at: http://www.samtec.com for more information on this connector. 3.1.2 Electrical specifications Table 3-1: Interface connector pin allocation Pin Signal Name Sig Dir (WRT the QLOCATE) Signal Function Signal Level 1 EXT_PWR Input Supply +5V ±0.5V 2 EXT_PWR Input Supply +5V ±0.5V 3 EXT_GND Input Supply return 0V 4 EXT_GND Input Supply return 0V 5 ON/OFF Input On/Off control input (On=IRI, Off= GPS) Analog On: ≥2.0V Off: ≤0.5V 6 DF_S_TX (Pin 5=On) GPS_TX (Pin 5=Off) Input Data port, serial data input 3.3V Digital 7 DF_S_RX (Pin 5=On) GPS_RX (Pin 5=Off) Output Data port, serial data output 3.3V Digital Note:

CONFIDENTIAL Information classified Confidential - Do not copy (See last page for obligations) Page 7 Figure 3-1: Interface connector pin number designation (from below module) 3.1.3 Power consumption Power consumption is dependent on the mode in which the QLOCATE is operating. The amount of time the QLOCATE spends in any of its modes will determine the overall current draw. The current draw specifications detailed in Table 3-3 apply to DC power measured at the QLOCATE’s interface connector input and not at the output of the power supply. If the power supply cables are excessively long a voltage drop can occur that is sufficient to cause the voltage to be out of specification at the physical power supply input to the QLOCATE.

CONFIDENTIAL Information classified Confidential - Do not copy (See last page for obligations) Page 8 In-rush limit refers to the impedance of the modem, which is very low when it is unpowered. When power is supplied from an unlimited supply, the instantaneous current can exceed 4 Amps which can cause damage to the modem. This can be limited in several ways, included using a supply that cannot provide more than 4 Amps instantaneously; or providing some series inductance/resistance to the supply lead. High current drive is required during transmissions.  The typical transmit burst is 8.3 ms (and repeats every 90 ms).  The typical receive burst is up to 4.5 seconds. The following must be guaranteed by the external power supply:  The supply voltage droop over for a 8.3ms burst of 1.5A current should not be more than 0.2 V.  The in-rush current should be limited to a maximum of 4 Amps  The power source shall provide for over current protection in case of device malfunction.  The supply noise should be less than the limits in the following profile:  100 mVpp from 0 to 50 kHz  5 mVpp at 1 MHz measured in 50 kHz bandwidth  10 mVpp at 1 MHz measured in 1MHz bandwidth  5 mVpp above 5 MHz measured in 1 MHz bandwidth.

CONFIDENTIAL Information classified Confidential - Do not copy (See last page for obligations) Page 9 The behavior of +CIEV:1 is identical to that of the Network Available output. 3.2 Serial data interface The serial data interface is an RS-232 9-wire interface at 3.3V digital signal levels (LVTTL) over which the QLOCATE and the customer solution transfer commands, responses, and SBD message data. In using this interface, the QLOCATE behaves as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment), and the customer solution behaves as a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment).  If RS-232 voltage levels are needed, the customer solution must include an LVTTL/RS-232 level-shifter.  Autobaud is not supported. The baud rate can be set via the AT+IPR command. The default rate is 19200 bps. The QLOCATE’s serial interface supports the control signaling of a 9-wire interface by default for those host applications that require it. However, the interface can also be configured for 3-wire operation – in which only transmit, receive and ground signals are used – with no detriment to functionality/performance. See the ISU AT Command Set for more information. 3.3 Network Available output Network Available is a digital output that can notify an application that the QLOCATE has visibility to the Iridium satellite network. This feature is helpful when the movement of the QLOCATE reduces the amount of time that it has a clear line of sight to the satellite. If the customer solution includes this logic output in the application decision logic, battery life can be preserved by thereby reducing the number of attempted transmissions. Network Available means only that the QLOCATE can successfully receive the Ring Channel (namely, it has an Iridium satellite in view). It is not a guarantee that a message can be successfully sent. The Network Available state is evaluated every time the Ring Channel is received, which is typically every 4 seconds if the Ring Channel is visible. If the Ring Channel is not currently visible, the update time can take as long as 2 minutes, depending on how long the lack of satellite visibility existed. The update time varies because the QLOCATE attempts to conserve power by increasing the Ring Channel search interval as long as the satellites are not in view. Every time a ring search fails, the time to wait is increased and eventually limits at 120 seconds. If Network Available is currently off, the customer solution may still attempt an SBDI[X] session. This will force the QLOCATE to look for the Ring Channel immediately and, upon finding it, to attempt to send the message. In this case, Network Available will not come on immediately. The Network Available does not turn on while in a +SBDI session. It will, however, turn on 4 seconds later due to the assumption that the Ring Channel is present. After the SBD session completes, the QLOCATE performs a new Ring Channel search, at the end of which Network Available is turned on. This can take between 4 and 12 seconds. The wait time between search windows is reset to 4 seconds every time a search succeeds. Otherwise, it continues to increase. Therefore, if the +SBDI attempt fails to find the Ring Channel, the search window does not reset to 4 seconds. 3.4 DC supply indicator output A DC supply indicator signal is provided which could be used directly for driving an LED to provide a visible indication that the QLOCATE’s supply is on. Alternatively, the output signal could be used in application logic to determine whether the internal transceiver power supply is on. Note:

CONFIDENTIAL Information classified Confidential - Do not copy (See last page for obligations) Page 10 For safety reasons, the RF connector on the QLOCATE is intended for an inter-board connection to the host system motherboard and should not be directly connected to an external antenna cable or cable distribution system. Paragraph 7.3 of EN60950-1:2006 safety standard requires that users are protected against high voltages that might appear on these cables. This can be achieved either by inserting a high-voltage isolating capacitor in series with the signal or by grounding the shield of the coaxial cable. The MMCX connectors have limited voltage capacity; therefore, protection needs to be provided on the developer’s motherboard. Developers are encouraged to review the EN60950-1:2006 standard for additional details. 4 RF interface 4.1 Connector types When mating to the QLOCATE RF connector, use MMCX male connectors from SAMTEC, part number MMCXP-P-H-ST-TH1. This is a thru hole printed circuit mount connector with the correct mechanical spacing to allow the QLOCATE to fit flush on the motherboard. Additional information can be found at: http://www.samtec.com. 4.2 ANT connector The main RF connector for the QLOCATE is the antenna connector. This provides the RF connection between the QLOCATE and the host system motherboard. 4.2.1 Antenna characteristics The QLOCATE should be connected to an Iridium-band antenna with the following antenna connector characteristics in Table 4-1.

The example of a host system motherboard footprint in Figure 7-1 is shown for illustrative purposes only. The host system may require a different PCB layout or mechanical arrangement. 2. The QLOCATE is designed to be incorporated within a host system. It is therefore important that the antenna or cable distribution system that feeds the host system be terminated in a robust RF connector that is suitable for the end-application. 3. Safety isolation requirements for external antennas or cable distribution systems should also be taken into account when designing the motherboard. A suitably safe design for the RF connections should be incorporated into the host system motherboard, ideally using a chassis-bonded ground connection to the antenna cable shield. 4. The surface below the modem should be a conductive ground plane to ensure that the modem bonds to the motherboard ground system, thereby reducing the possibility of radiated emissions. This also requires that the mounting screws be properly tightened to 7 pound-inches of torque.

CONFIDENTIAL Information classified Confidential - Do not copy (See last page for obligations) Page 20 Although the modem dissipates very little power, its use in ambient temperatures in excess of 60 deg C will make the caseworks notably hot. 5. The modem is to be installed in a “service access only” area not accessible by untrained personnel and must be protected from inadvertent contact. WARNING HOT SURFACE DO NOT TOUCH 7.2 Basic operation The QLOCATE contains both a GPS module and an Iridium satellite module. Only one module is utilized at a time. Pin 5 is the line that controls which module is being used. 7.2.1 Iridium satellite When there is potential on Pin 5 (3.3V), the Iridium module is utilized. The default baud rate for the Iridium module is 19200. From a terminal window set at 19200, basic AT commands can be used to control the module. Section 8.1 - Example: Send and receive a message outlines the steps to power on and send or retrieve a message. 7.2.2 GPS When there is no potential on Pin 5 (0V), the GPS module will be utilized rather than the Iridium module. The default baud rate for the GPS module is 9600. Through a terminal window the GPS NMEA strings can be seen. The module automatically starts a GPS read to acquire a fix when utilized.
