Table of contents

On-terminal data processing engine that transforms raw inputs into actionable insights through statistics, logic, and optimized reports for satellite transmission.

Processing Services is embedded software running on ORBCOMM terminals (ST/IDP series). It collects data from sources like Modbus, J1939, EIO or AVL Agent, processes it locally using configurable logic, statistics and transformations, and generates optimized output. Reports are efficiently sent via satellite or cellular, minimizing bandwidth usage. Processing Services also handles alarms, events, and LINs, enabling reliable, traceable, and autonomous edge intelligence for remote IoT deployments.

Key benefits

1

Reduced Satellite Bandwidth Usage

By processing data locally, Processing Services minimize payload size while maintaining full operational value.

2

Scalable Processing Logic

Supports aggregation, event detection, and logic across all telemetry collected by the terminal.

3

Reliable & Traceable

Includes configuration hashing and event logs to ensure auditability and traceability.

4

Optimized for ORBCOMM Terminals

Fully integrated into Tesacom/ORBCOMM ecosystem and compatible with T.Wizard and T.DATA.

5

Context-Rich Alarm Data

Processing Services automatically send detailed, pre-set reports alongside alarms. These reports include multiple sensor variables to provide full context for accurate diagnostics and faster response.

Key Features

Advanced Edge Analytics

Perform min/max/avg, counters, time-in-range, and other statistical operations on data collected by Processing Services in the terminal.

Rule-Based Processing with LINs

Combine inputs and static parameters to create derived variables using logical/arithmetic expressions.

Alarm Management & Thresholds

Detect critical conditions locally and trigger event reports autonomously.

Event Logging & Report Scheduling

Automatically log and send periodic or event-driven data based on configured rules.

Optimized Report Encoding

Processing Services structures report payloads to reduce satellite data usage while preserving integrity.
