6.6. GPS/NMEA Repeater
The Optimizer supports USB and RS-232 NMEA devices allowing multiple applications
to share the GPS/NMEA data. If you have a NMEA RS-422 device, adding a RS-422 to
RS-232 converter to your setup may allow the sharing of data.
The Optimizer does not transmit data but can be configured to receive and repeat
GPS/NMEA data from:
• A broadband satellite terminal with integrated GPS when connected to the
Optimizer via a standard Ethernet connection. (As of this writing, supported
terminals include: Iridium Pilot, Inmarsat FBB and Inmarsat BGAN.)
• A handheld satellite phone with integrated GPS when connected to the Optimizer
with the satphone's USB- Mini/Micro USB cable. (As of this writing, supported
handheld satphones include: Iridium 9575 Extreme and Inmarsat IsatPhonePro.)
CAUTION: IsatPhone users! The phone only transmits GPS coordinates about
every 10 minutes. It is NOT recommended for navigation or any application that
requires real time data.
• A USB connected GPS or NMEA device.
• A serial port connected GPS or NMEA device.
