The SENS Applique digitizes RF signals and extracts SENS message packets despite interference or overlapping transmissions, and transmits these messages through the Internet.

Ashburn VA (SPX) Jul 29, 2004
AeroAstro, a microsatellite technology pioneer, Wednesday announced the award of a Gateway Applique contract from Globalstar, LLC. The SENS Appliques are the technical core of AeroAstro's Sensor Enabled Notification System, the patented technology underlying the Globalstar Simplex Data Service - a highly affordable satellite-based monitoring and asset tracking data system.

The SENS Applique, an add-on to existing Globalstar ground stations, receives and decodes remote sensing data received via satellite from field transmitters. It digitizes RF signals and extracts SENS message packets despite interference or overlapping transmissions, and transmits these messages through the Internet.

Globalstar is currently finalizing a decision regarding the location of the gateway where the new applique will be installed. Globalstar will either expand its simplex data coverage into a new market or enhance the coverage in an already existing market.

SENS Appliques are optimized for many users to transmit simultaneous small packet data messages. The Appliques are enabled by AeroAstro's patented Code Phase Division Multiple Access (CPDMA) technology.

CPDMA technology delivers more efficient transmissions than comparable systems. This increased message rate capability, combined with one-way transmission requirements, delivers a uniquely efficient system.

The AeroAstro/Globalstar Simplex Data technology provides a total solution that is affordable and reliable with ubiquitous (outdoor) coverage in the US and Canada, Europe and the Middle East. The hardware and services combine to deliver prices, power savings, compact size and ease of use previously unimaginable from satellite communications.

AeroAstro - the One Stop Shop for Globalstar Simplex Data services and products - offers communications packages serving applications requirements from once a month to once per hour, depending on users' needs.

Users are able to access their remote location and sensor information via a user-friendly web interface, the SENS Data Portal. AeroAstro, in partnership with Axonn, is also able to provide small, low-cost, and low-power transmitters.
