SkyWave IDP-782 communications terminal

The SkyWave IDP-782 communications terminal from M2M Connectivity is designed for fleet management applications. A single device for both cellular and satellite network coverage over the Inmarsat IsatData Pro network, the IDP-782 offers cost-effective, continuous connection to assets, sensors and people.

The IDP-782 is suitable for situations where the relay of critical information requires reliable, ubiquitous connectivity. With always-on backup satellite communications, this dual-mode device increases safety and improves operations without the added costs of roaming charges.

Feature rich, the IDP-782 has numerous applications for fleet management providing: complete visibility and tracking of transport vehicles and its cargo in and out of remote areas; continuous collection of location, telemetry and sensor data for the protection of valuable heavy equipment and driver safety; lower cost cellular for vessels near-shore and reliable satellite services elsewhere; and SCADA monitoring of fixed oil and gas equipment with Modbus and sensor capabilities and power loss notifications with the built-in backup battery.

The IDP-782 provides quick configurable out-of-the-box software or the development of custom applications. In addition, the IDP-782 features an optional 2.5 h backup battery option to send GPS and other information when no vehicle power is available.
