Satellite Model System Structure
All Druid models feature INTELINK transmission, making both the system structures for satellite models and INTELINK models applicable to satellite models.
Please note that the INTELINK range of satellite models is not currently optimized. In most scenarios, the INTELINK capability of satellite models is primarily utilized for basic functions such as turning on/off and setting delivery.
The transmission between satellite devices and satellites is unidirectional, allowing data to be solely (1) transmitted from satellite devices to satellites, not the reverse.
Therefore, it is crucial to establish and deliver the appropriate device settings to the satellite device before releasing the animal. Once the animal is released, any setting changes made on the server via Ecotopia Web/app cannot be delivered through satellite communication.
Subsequently, the device will (1) (2) transmit the collected data to the server during upcoming satellite transmission sessions. Then you can access the data via Ecotopia Web/app anytime, anywhere. Iridium or Globalstar satellite models transmit data regularly as per the configured settings. The process is somewhat more intricate for Argos. Click here to learn more.
Please note that Iridium or Globalstar satellite devices are delivered ready for satellite transmission. In contrast, for Argos satellite devices, it is necessary to deliver settings to the devices to enable their functionality.
