1. SmartOne Basics Overview The Globalstar SmartOne series of products are designed to track the positions of trailers, cargo containers, heavy construction equipment, generators, boats/barges and any other mobile assets. NOTE: Throughout the rest of this manual, the term SmartOne will refer to the SmartOne Solar™... -
Page 8: Reduced Messaging
12:00 noon and 12:00 midnight. Reduced Messaging Reduced Messaging Mode reduces the cost associated with transmitting messages over Globalstar’s satellite network by sending messages at a minimal message interval when the asset is in a defined area and transmits at a higher message interval when the asset is changing locations. -

Page 11: Satellite Communications
For a Location Message, the SmartOne will wake up at a scheduled interval or time of day and begin to acquire a GPS fix. Once it receives its GPS fix, the SmartOne will transmit its location to the Globalstar Satellite Network. -
Page 12: Globalstar Satellite Network
Geostationary satellites also orbit at a much higher altitude and move along the equator. Messages are transmitted from the SmartOne via the Globalstar Satellite Network using an uplink-only connection (one-way data transmission) and received by a Globalstar Ground Station. The messages are then sent via an HTTP or FTP server to the internet and received by the VAR or end customer’s back... -

The SmartOne unit can also be mounted on a flat vertical surface but this may reduce the communication reliability, decrease the maximum sustainable messaging rate, and may reduce the GPS location accuracy. SmartOne Solar™ User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information... -
Page 14: Mounting Methods
Peel the other side of the adhesive gasket and place the SmartOne onto the asset. Apply at 80lb (350N) of force to the unit for a minimum of three seconds to achieve full bonding strength. SmartOne Solar™ User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information... -
Page 15: Optional Metal Bracket Installation
The optional metal mounting bracket is used to firmly secure the device to the asset. It has four screws that attach the SmartOne Solar device to the asset. This allows the SmartOne Solar to be mounted such that the antennas have direct view of the sky with mounting flexibility. The SmartOne Solar attaches to the metal mounting bracket using four Phillips-head screws. -
Page 16: Messages
9100-0425-01 3. Messages The SmartOne produces on-air messages conforming to the Globalstar specified format. See Appendix G through J for detailed examples of various message decoding. The data being communicated to the end user is contained entirely in the 72 bit (9 byte) field. -

Accumulate Hours – The activity time accumulated in the Inputs of the device while the Input is in the user defined state. Activation – The activation of an ESN (electronic serial number) on the Globalstar satellite network. The process consists of programming a start and an end date for the use of the ESN and the payment of certain fees to Globalstar. - Page 33 Globalstar only counts repeated messages as one message if it is received three times or less. If the same message is received more than three times, Globalstar may count the message as more than one message for billing purposes Self Test –...
