Description

RockREMOTE Mini OEM is the board-level version of RockREMOTE Mini, built for teams adding Iridium Certus 100 connectivity inside their own products.

 

It gives your system satellite IP over Ethernet, plus Iridium Messaging Transport for compact message-based data when opening an IP session is more than you need. Use it for autonomous systems, remote equipment, industrial telemetry, agricultural machinery, and other products that need a reliable satellite path without mounting a separate external terminal.

 

Mini OEM is supplied as a bare PCB assembly with an integrated mounting chassis, so your enclosure, antenna placement, host system, and power design stay under your control. Power, Ethernet, serial, and I/O are brought out through a 30-way header for integration into your own electronics.

 

It's designed for power sensitive deployments, with a 10–30V DC input range and sleep mode consumption below 36mW. Use it when you need Certus 100 IP connectivity in a smaller embedded form factor, and you are ready to handle the mechanical and electrical integration yourself.

Key Features

  • Satellite IP + IMT messaging: Iridium Certus 100 for TCP/IP data, with IMT for compact message-based payloads
  • 22 Kbps up / 88 Kbps down: Midband satellite connectivity for remote systems beyond terrestrial networks
  • 30-way integration header: Power, Ethernet, serial, and GPIO exposed through a single OEM header
  • Low power design: 300mW typical idle receiver mode, with sleep mode below 36mW at 12V
  • Local AT command control: Manage IMT message queues and device behavior over the serial interface
  • BLE configuration: Configure Ethernet LAN and WAN settings over Bluetooth
  • OEM mounting points: Four screw fixings for integration inside your own enclosure.

Tech Specifications

  • Input Voltage: 10V to 30V DC
  • Power Draw (Sleep Mode): < 36mW at 12V DC / < 75mW at 24V DC
  • Power Draw (Active states): 300mW typical idle receive; 7.25W average power consumption during active transmit
  • Current Limits: < 1.66A at 12V DC / < 833mA at 24V DC peak current (at 10% duty cycle during active transmission); ~800mA inrush current
  • Network Throughput: 22 Kbps uplink / 88 Kbps downlink via the Iridium Certus 100 midband service
  • Positioning System: Multi-constellation integrated GNSS receiver tracking GPS, Glonass, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS signals
  • Wired Network Link: 10/100 Base-T Ethernet lines (requires external magnetics on host hardware interface to complete hookup)
  • Serial Protocols: Software-configurable multi-mode configurations supporting RS232, RS4xx (RS422/RS485), and an independent on-board logic-level UART
  • Digital Inputs/Outputs: 4-channel GPIO port providing 2 dedicated digital inputs and 2 dedicated digital outputs
  • Physical Profile & Environment: Dimensions of 155.8 x 77.2 x 42.5mm or 175 x 60 x 37mm layout; 310g total weight; operating range of -40°C to +70°C up to 95% relative humidity

Cloudloop Platform

RockREMOTE Mini OEM connects into Cloudloop for device management, service management, usage monitoring, and data routing.

Cloudloop gives developers APIs, documentation, and code examples for moving data between RockREMOTE devices and their own applications. It handles the operational layer around satellite connectivity, so your team can focus on the product, payloads, and edge application.

Frequently Asked questions

No, RockREMOTE Mini / Mini OEM requires the connection of external antennas to establish communication links. You must attach an approved external Iridium Certus 100 antenna to the TNC female connector port, and a compliant active or passive GNSS antenna to the SMA female port.

No. While the terminal arrives with an unactivated Iridium satellite SIM card pre-installed inside the 2FF layout slot, all airtime configurations and data profiles are handled independently. A matching Iridium Certus 100 or IMT billing plan must be provisioned via your Cloudloop dashboard profile before the terminal can authenticate and pass field data over the network.

The board passes raw Ethernet signals straight to its multiway pin header. To complete a standard wired network hookup, you must include external magnetics and a standard physical RJ45 jack on your companion interface board.

Yes. Because the subassembly utilizes standard industrial serial interfaces (RS232/RS485) and standard network data protocols (TCP/IP), it easily connects to standard Linux platforms, Windows infrastructure, or microcontroller systems capable of handling serial or network lines.
