The RST030 provides an integrated intelligent voice, data and tracking solution using the RST100 Beam communication terminals. The interface also supports the Ship Security Alert System (SSAS) and enables anyone to easily and covertly transmit an emergency distress signal to the ship owner and any nominated Authority.

TrackALERT Equipment

The RST030 TrackALERT is easily connected to the RST100 or RST200 Beam Satellite Communication terminal devices. Other Beam TrackALERT models can be connected to other Beam terminals.

Inbuilt or External GPS

The RST030 has a built in GPS engine. This provides the flexibility to use any type of active or passive GPS antenna on the terminal. This model also provides the ability to connect a secondary NMEA GPS input for back up purposes from another source.

SSAS: Ship Security Alert System

The TrackALERT System when used in conjunction with the Beam Remote Satellite Terminal RST100 or Remote Satellite Modem RST200 fully complies with the SSAS mandated requirements by the International Maritime Organisation IMO. The Beam / Iridium SSAS solutions incorporating the RST030 or RST035 with one of the Beam Remote Satellite Terminals, enables full compliance with all SOLAS XI-2/6 mandated SSAS regulations.

Intelligent Configuration

The TrackALERT interface units allow full configuration through the intelligent processor onboard the terminal. This allows customization of various settings, notification addresses, notification types, test configuration, notification intervals, loop configuration, remote control as well as remote polling when required. All parameters can be configured remotely via SMS or SBD (Short Burst Data) Tracking Applications. The TrackALERT interface enables you to configure individual reporting fields such as long/lat/speed/direction/height as well as the status of alarms or other digital / analog inputs as configured on the terminal.

Movement Reporting

For tracking applications the intelligent system also allows the unit to be configured so that position reports are only sent when the vehicle asset is moving; this is a great cost saving measure. However at anytime the unit can still be remotely polled for a current position as required.

Alert Systems Applications

As the TrackALERT input is designed to provide support for multiple applications, it is possible to also combine the tracking and reporting functionality with an emergency alert system. In this application the TrackALERT interface can handle multiple alarm activation points. These activation points can be from physical buttons or digital/analog inputs.

Alert Notification Features

When an alarm is raised this will automatically generate the delivery of an alert notification to the predetermined destination. This delivery destination can be to another Iridium service, another mobile service (Selected Service Providers) or to any email address as specified. Multiple alert notification points can be configured into the terminal for actual alerts and or test alert messages.

The TrackALERT terminal is programmed to have a security Passcode, once this is set this is the only way an alert can be deactivated. This can be performed locally or remotely using SMS or SBD.

Whilst Beam gives you the flexibility to use the Remote Satellite Terminal for other Iridium Services, in the event of an emergency, the Beam RST’s Intelligence will always give Priority to alerts and terminate any active Voice or Data calls in order to transmit the SSAS alert notification when used with the Beam RST100 or RST200.
