ORBCOMM - System Status, Evolutio ad Applicatios 21 Outlook o System Evolutio ORBCOMM system is ow maaged ad cotrolled by a ew compay ORBCOMM LLC. Its shareholders have prepared a ew busiess cocept for the operatio ad the marketig of the system. I order to maitai the system performace i the future, the ew busiess pla icludes the desig ad implemetatio of ew geeratio satellites ad a extesio of the groud segmet. The egieerig efforts for the desig ad the implemetatio of ew satellites have started. Curret plas are to lauch the ew geeratio satellites begiig i 2005. Additioal groud segmet elemets will be established i the future, to icrease system performace ad coverage. At the time beig it is plaed to costruct additioal s i the Middle East, Africa, ad Asia, icludig Russia.
ORBCOMM - System Status, Evolutio ad Applicatios 22 Coclusios The ORBCOMM System is a switched, two-way data commuicatio system, which has the followig key features: u u u u global coverage, ear real-time commuicatio for mai market areas, ad store-ad-forward service for remote regios, had-held subscriber termials with simple whip atea, global itercoectivity to the e-mail etworks ad iteret. The followig applicatios are addressed by may differet services: u u u moitorig ad cotrollig of fixed assets at remote sites, trackig of mobile assets ad vehicles, ad messagig ad pagig-like services. Curretly, there are 30 operatioal micro-satellites (43kg) i low Earth orbit, which are accomplished by 12 Gateway Earth Statios () globally distributed. I the future, ORBCOMM plas to upgrade the system by lauchig extgeeratio satellites ad extedig the groud segmet with further s.
