satellite industry
ROCHELLE PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 8, 2016--
ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq:ORBC), a global provider of Machine-to-Machine
(M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced that it
has received the Mobile Satellite Users Association (MSUA) 2016 M2M
Mobility Satcom Innovation Award for its OG2
satellite modem. The award was presented to ORBCOMM at the Satellite
2016 Conference & Exhibition in National Harbor, MD.
ORBCOMM’s M2M modem platform is the satellite industry’s first modular,
compatible OEM design that allows Value Added Resellers (VARs) and
system integrators to provide seamless, interchangeable satellite
connectivity at no incremental cost on the same hardware platform. The
OG2 modem, which is roughly half the size of a credit card, delivers a
cost-effective price point to a multitude of M2M applications.
“We are honored to receive the MSUA Innovation Award for our OG2 modem,
which further demonstrates our commitment to leadership in the global
M2M space through continued innovation,” said Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM’s
Chief Executive Officer. “The OG2 modem, along with our new
interchangeable OGi IDP modem, provide customers with unrivaled ease of
use, flexibility and quality of service based on their unique
application needs. Our ground-breaking modem technology is bringing the
industry one step closer to creating a truly standardized satellite M2M
platform.”
The versatile OG2 modem is designed to work with ORBCOMM’s newly
launched second generation OG2
satellite network and is also backward compatible with ORBCOMM’s
first generation OG1 satellite network. It has upgradeable firmware and
satisfies all of the requirements needed for global M2M and IoT
installations, including small footprint, lower power consumption,
increased messaging capability, seamless integration and low cost.
ORBCOMM is actively engaged with multiple customers integrating the OG2
modem technology into their products within a host of applications
including heavy equipment, transportation, marine and other markets.
