Interconnection Diagram - Iridium Pilot Installation Manual

Installer/Customer Furnished Equipment
• Mounting Pole: Used to establish vertical position of ADE. Must have additional support if exposed to
high winds.
• Ethernet Cable: Use if data connection is provisioned. Maximum length is 100 meters. This has to include
the ADE/BDE interface cable. So the Ethernet cable length must take into account the distance between the
ADE and BDE.
• Fasteners: (4) M10 (length depends on bracket, must have 15-20 mm thread engagement with ADE.
Recommended Practices/Supplies
Iridium recommends that a surge suppressor or universal power supply (UPS) unit is installed along with the

Understanding the Interface Between ADE and BDE
The BDE provides isolated 48 volts to operate the transceiver and digital base-band processor in the ADE. There
is an E1 interface that carries voice information from the BDE to the ADE. The E1 also provides communications
for housekeeping between the two devices, for SIM interfacing and "reset to factory defaults" commands.
Lastly there is an Ethernet connection thru the BDE connecting directly to the ADE base-band processor.
