EX4U  -  D+  Data Scada Terminal & GPS  (DSTG)                  ... en Español

EX4U is driving the convergence of wireless access and data applications on several levels. At the first level, EX4U offers capabilities for position location, and storage. The second level leverages these features: EX4U offers interfaces with Black Boxes (interfaces for sensors, etc), and Mobile Data Terminals. At the third level, EX4U fully integrates the off site information with the HQ logistical applications. 




 By aligning our businesses (EX4U and Partners) and development efforts the toward a common goal, EX4U achieves many important synergies. This growth cycle is key to EX4U's continued success.

Description

Achieving a flow of accurate, up-to-date information from, and exercising control over, remote installations has always been a complex and expensive exercise. Now Inmarsat D+ satellite communication services offer a low-cost, highly-reliable mobile solution for supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA). 

The range of possible D+ applications is nearly endless: from tracking trucks in Europe, busses in Namibia, sail boats in Argentina, or rail wagons in Central Africa, to opening banking vaults remotely in Brazil, engine monitoring in South Africa, elephants in India, monitoring of ATM machines in Venezuela or power lines in South America. 

D+ is a global mobile telecommunications system, which supports bi-directional store-and-forward short message data communications. It is the perfect high quality, affordable communication solution for those requiring short data messaging across wide or remote areas. 

No matter how inhospitable a location or how extended a network, the D+ system can link mobile units anywhere in the world to the computers that control them. 

Data packets can be transmitted from remote (mobile) sites at pre-programmed time-intervals. Alternatively, D+ terminals can be interrogated for data, or control instructions can be sent to activate or adjust their remote functions. 

The control station (being a computer system such as a (portable) PC or server) running application software designed for a specific end-to-end solution, (e.g. tracking and tracing, telemetry or person to person messaging) is linked through the terrestrial telephone network with the Inmarsat-D+ Land Earth Station. 

'From-terminal' D+ messages are generally sent in the form of macro-code. This can comprise up to 64 bits of data, enough for GPS position reports, alarms or telemetry data and an unlimited number of application-defined macro-codes. Every message is automatically identified with a terminal and receives a date/time stamp when it passes through the Land Earth Station, a few seconds after being sent. 

'To-terminal' D+ messages have many different uses, including simple commands to the remote location, configuration instructions, position or status polling and text messages. Up to 2000 bits of information can be sent in a single to-terminal message, though it is more economic to minimise the amount of data using macro-codes. 

D+ satellite communication services perfectly meet the needs of the international road transport industries. Locating, tracking and monitoring vehicle fleets for better utilisation, keeping track of sensitive and high value loads, and the vehicles that carry them, no matter where they go. 

A vehicle, no matter how remote its route, is never out of range with Inmarsat D+, making it also an ideal communications system for security alerting. A sensor triggered alarm signal can automatically include location and direction of travel information, enabling the control center or the authorities to take action or send assistance immediately. 


EX4U’s D+ Transceiver
  
The EX4U’s Inmarsat D+/GPS satellite transceiver is the ultimate solution for asset tracking and security, fleet management, SCADA and personal messaging applications. 
  
EX4U’s is an integrated type approved Inmarsat D+ Transceiver, GPS receiver and omni-directional antenna housed in a rugged, environmentally sealed package. Its low power consumption makes it the ideal solution for battery applications, such as non-powered asset tracking and remote SCADA applications. 
  
EX4U’s D+ Transceiver small profile,
comparable in size to a portable CD player, allows it to be easily mounted on e.g. railroad wagons, trailers,on assets inconspicuously, drawing little notice from operators and would be thieves. 

EX4U’s D+ Transceiver built-in scripting capability allows the unit to operate as a stand alone unit without any external controller, thus lowering costs and power consumption. Simply, program your customized script into non volatile memory, apply power and the EX4U’s D+ Transceiver will operate autonomously, reporting when your programmed events occur. Programmed events can include time of day, time intervals, actions and any GPS related information, or external sensor triggering. 

EX4U’s D+ Transceiver can be configured locally through the RS-232 user data port or remotely over the satellite, saving expensive visits by field technicians. 
The RS232 port allows connecting sensors and controllers and displays are light, small and easy to install.

EX4U’s D+ Transceiver can be used as a two-way satellite modem. Perfect for existing and new applications, which simply require a two-way link between remote sites and a control station. Its serial interface and published communication protocol allow an easy integration with an external controller, mobile display terminal or PC .
