The 9603N model is the second generation version 9603 and is identical in form and function to the 9603, but with less current consumption and a wide variation in supply voltage. See Specifications Tab
One-fourth the volume and half the footprint of the Iridium 9602, the innovative Iridium 9603 transceiver combines the global coverage of the Iridium satellite constellation with the low latency of the Iridium Short Burst Data Service to provide highly reliable satellite communications from pole to pole.
The 9603/9603N only supports Iridium’s Short Burst Data (SBD) capability. It does not support voice, circuit switched data, or short message service (SMS)
With the smallest form factor of any commercial satellite transceiver available today, the Iridium 9603 is ideal for space-constrained applications including monitoring, tracking and alarm systems. It is also highly affordable, costing just slightly more than the previous-generation Iridium 9602.
Delivering two-way communications on a remarkable scale, the Iridium 9603 transceiver further expands the Iridium connected user base worldwide.
The Iridium 9603/9603N Short Burst Data Only Transceiver (9603/9603N) is designed to be integrated into a wireless data application with other host system hardware and software to produce a full solution designed for a specific application or vertical market. Examples of these solutions include tracking a maritime vessel or automatic vehicle location
