Short Burst Data (SBD)

Low cost, low latency, 2-way packet data to collect, monitor and control.

Iridium's short burst data (SBD) provides an affordable, reliable, 2-way transport between remote terminals connected to field instruments - like sensors or switches, and the central site responsible for monitoring them. You can integrate it into a wide range of applications and vertical markets, common applications include:

  • Monitoring: flow, level, temperature, pressure, other conditions
  • Tracking: heavy equipment or other valuable assets
  • Controlling: field equipment, switches, relays, access, other devices

Whatever critical assets, data or processes drive your business Iridium SBD offers a reliable, cost effective transport mechanism that works beyond the limits of other communications.

Rugged, Compact SBD Transceivers for SCADA and Telemetry

Roadpost offers ready to deploy telemetry and control terminals that work right out of the box. They require no further development and can be plugged into existing remote instruments to gather data, and seamlessly provide it to a central site via the Iridium SBD network, where it can be monitored and controlled. Examples include gas detectors, pressure switches, flow meters, and sensors. We can also provide raw data modems for SBD developers.

Whether you require an OEM transceiver for integration into a custom application or a complete solution, we offer terminals suited to virtually any critical remote data requirement and flexible, cost effective SBD service plans.
