What ?
- It's an encrypted short message gateway : email/web <- iridium constellation -> Everywhere on earth
- RBS stand for Recovery Base Station
- Sat messenger is the satellite part of RBS
- Messages follow destinationemail text. I.e foo@bar.com I'm fine
RBS
- There is a info website about this project
Sat Messenger
Hardware
- Satellite communication are based on Short Burst Message with a 9602 Modem
- All in one version can be found at rock7.com. We own a Rockblock +
Test computer version
Embeded version
- Raspberry based
Software
