Satellite communication module

The satellite module is an add on module to the data logger EOL2020 and was developed for use with the Iridium Satellite System. The communication system is based on the GSM technology with world wide coverage, and its relay system has been installed in more than 60 LEO satellites (Low Earth orbiting satellites) to provide a perfect worldwide coverage. With the satellite module you can make your connection to your wind measurement towers 100% safe worldwide and at the same time save costs on expensive visits to your towers to check for GSM coverage while being independent from local telephone network operators.

This opens up for some exiting new possibilities for the wind energy promoters:

No geographical restriction on the placement of the wind assessment tower. Because of the world wide coverage you no longer have to be concerned about placing your assessment towers in remote areas.
Easy installation and operation: Using the satellite modem is just like using a normal gsm modem, the user/installer just have to change the modem type in .sit. All functions are identical to the normal eol system, that being both live monitoring and downloading data from the tower.
Independent from local network operators: because of the system being based on satellite communication, there is only one company involved in the communication chain. This makes for an interesting advantage when it comes to international calls, eliminating the numerous coordinating problems between network operators, data transfer capability, roaming etc.
A robust system: The system has been thoroughly tested and developed specifically for applications that require an extreme degree of operation time.
Only one intermediate agent, to contact in the case that the communication should fail. This simplifies the process of solving any issues.
Bringing together communications: Without depending on local network operators the same solution can now be applied to all wind assessment towers, no matter where they are placed in the world. In that way you no longer need to examine the quality of the local telephone network AMPS, CDMA, TDMA etc.
