Global Iridium Satellite Coverage and Bidirectional Communication
Based on the Iridium satellite network, achieve bidirectional data communication worldwide (including polar regions), and support remote configuration and command issuance.

ISurface is a lightweight, self-contained, user maintainable two-way GPS satellite beacon in the NOVATECH series, designed specifically for surface buoys, mooring systems, and open sea asset tracking. This product fully utilizes the capabilities of the Iridium satellite network, providing global coverage from polar to polar regions and suitable for long-term deployment missions. ISurface is powered by standard "D" type batteries, easy to install, and can operate stably for about 1.5 years in typical application scenarios, sending up to 4500 short burst data messages. It is an ideal choice for water surface monitoring in harsh marine environments.

Based on the Iridium satellite network, achieve bidirectional data communication worldwide (including polar regions), and support remote configuration and command issuance.
Using 7 standard alkaline D-type batteries, the battery life is about 1.5 years, and users can replace the batteries themselves, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
The shell is made of anodized aluminum and Delrin materials, which have excellent corrosion resistance and impact resistance, specially designed for harsh marine environments.
Sleep mode consumes less than 20 µ A, greatly extending standby time.
Adopting a magnetic switch to achieve low-power sleep mode, facilitating energy efficiency management.
Local configuration: Set up using Windows applications via Bluetooth serial port protocol.
Remote wireless configuration: Using Iridium SBD bidirectional communication and Relay asset management system for remote control.
The operating temperature range is -30 ° C to+70 ° C, suitable for various climatic conditions from cold to tropical regions.
