The Iridium 9603 Developer’s Kit is the smallest form factor of any commercial satellite transceiver currently available, and allows users to develop their own tracking device that runs off the Iridium satellite network.
The Iridium 9603 Developer Kit comes with:
- Power supply
- U.FL to SMA adapter cable
- 9603 Test Interface Card
- 9603 SBD Transceiver
- 9603 Data CD
- Kit packaging
Key Features
- Ultra-Compact Design
Smallest satellite module in the industry with a lightweight and low-power design for seamless integration. - Single Board Solution
Supports integration of additional functions like GPS, microprocessor-based control, digital/analog I/O, power supply, and antenna. - Simplified Connectivity
Single header connector for power, on/off control, UART interface, and network status signals. - Global Compliance
Certified for major global standards: RoHS, EC, FCC Part 15/25, IC, REACH 201, ANATEL, NRRA (Korea), and Japan Type Approval. - No SIM Card Requirement
Eliminates the need for a SIM card, simplifying deployment and reducing costs.
