HOW IT WORKSSpaceChecker SDS is a satellite data communication system with European, African and Asian coverage, offering a fast and cost-effective service. The heart of the technology is a digital modem with built-in GPS receiver. The full operational system that provides the service is composed of the following components:
The Packet Data Communication Network
The satellite modem sends GPS coordinates as a packet-burst via a geostationary satellite, to the SpaceChecker Land Earth Station (LES).
The Land Earth Station (LES)
SpaceChecker’s LES is located in Leuven, near Brussels, Belgium where up and downlinks to the satellite network are carried out. Data packets transmitted by the modems in the field are received at the LES after which the data is sent to the Network Operation Center (NOC).
The Network Operation Center (NOC)
The Network Operation Center (NOC) includes the Data Center for data storage and delivery to the customer, as well as the Back Office for customer services. The NOC is installed in a safe hosting centre in Brussels.
The User Front-End
SpaceChecker offers a web-based user front-end. This front-end is linked with a geographical database that represents the data you need, such as speed, GPS-position, status, sensor values and meter readings on a detailed map. It allows data interpretation at a glance while improving your working experience. The SpaceChecker user front-end can also interface with existing customer systems and uses the Internet as a preferred medium for data delivery and interfacing with its network.
