This Quick Start Guide
The ST150M Development Kit is the fastest way to become familiar with the Globalstar
Enablement Suites Unified API utilized to support your development. The Arduino Uno shield
support allows you to quickly integrate with an expansive variety of hardware solutions.
Globalstar's existing BLE solution is supported and enhanced with additional security options.
By taking advantage of the Unified API and application libraries, you can quickly be
generating Smart Data over the Globalstar Satellite Network. The ST150M also supports all
our existing message types in addition to new sub-message types.
An accompanying mobile app (iOS or Android) allows users to issue commands to
interface with the ST150M directly via the nRF52840 BLE SoC. Through a mobile app or
serial console, users may send user-defined custom data via the ST150 module through the
Globalstar Satellite Network.

ACTIVATING YOUR DEV KIT
The ST150M Development Kit comes with 60 days of pre-authorized satellite usage time.
The Activation form should be submitted prior to ordering this kit, but if changes are
required, please contact your
Regional Sales
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The power needed for ST150M transmissions will exceed the supply current
available from typical USB ports on your laptop or PC. Confirm your USB can
source 500 ma of current to power the Dev Kit. If utilizing additional Arduino
Uno shields, the current requirements of each shield must be accounted for.
A current source capable of supplying 1 A or more is recommended.
The UID (Unique Identifier) of your ST150M Dev Kit is located on the module. It
is 12 digits and listed on the top left-hand side of the label affixed to the ST150M.
The user should activate the UID associated with the Dev Kit prior to
transmitting any messages. In this process, the routing is established for
messaging through the Globalstar Satellite Network and the details related
to the activation of the 60-day trial period. After 60 days, renewal is required
with payment for continued satellite network service.
The ST150M Dev Kit must have a clear view of the sky to communicate on the
Globalstar Satellite Network.
