General Description
The XMR is a bidirectional data relay device, utilized for peripheral data transfer as well as
location reporting via the Iridium satellite network. XMR's small size and mountable enclosure
make it easy to install quickly in transmission-friendly locations.
Inside the XMR is a 9603 Iridium satellite Short Burst Data core radio transceiver, a specialized
low-power Xeos digital controller with GPS, Iridium & GPS antennas.
While the XMR is intended for locally connected surface deployments. Xeos Technologies Inc.
(Xeos) manufactures other products for fixed location monitoring and remote tracking and
surveillance.

Theory of Operation
The XMR is intended for continuous and/or periodic monitoring of high value assets globally. The
XMR can facilitate instant and accurate location of assets for recovery or monitoring purposes.
The internal GPS determines location which is stored on board the XMR. An Iridium modem
provides two-way communications for retrieval of data and sending commands to the remote
tracker. The deployment is facilitated by the miniature device which has both GPS and Iridium
antennas on board.
Operators can communicate with the XMR via is integrated RS-232 port locally, as well as over
Iridium using XeosOnline and/or email command. Status information can be obtained, including
the health of the GPS system and battery voltage. Timings are configurable and can be modified
as the nature of the tracking or monitoring operation changes.
The internal relay function allows the XMR to be piggy-backed to an external serial device and
used as a communications interface for that device. For instance, you may wish to send
commands to a remote camera or receive data from a temperature sensor.
While any email application can be used to send and receive messages between the user and the
XMR, XeosOnline is the easiest way to manage and monitor multiple XMR devices. XeosOnline
presents the information in a readable format and displays it on street level maps.
