Advanced Thuraya SatBridge Smart Terminal
Features
Thuraya SatBridge Positioning System
The Thuraya SatBridge contains an integrated Positioning System receiver that supports Global
Positioning System (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) that is used to
provide location information. GPS location information is required for system access, and the
reception of a new GPS location is attempted automatically every time the Thuraya SatBridge is
powered on. This is required to establish the connection with Satellite.
For optimum GPS signal reception, make sure the Thuraya SatBridge is positioned in a roughly
horizontal placement. The GPS is located on the Wi-Fi Hotspot unit of the Thuraya SatBridge.
The Wi-Fi Hotspot GPS receiver must be able to see a large part of the sky without obstructions
from buildings, mountains, or trees.
SOS/Emergency Feature
<TBD> placeholder for image of SatBridge terminal with SOS button callout
The SOS! Emergency! button is used to call for help. When you press the button, GEOS
emergency services in your area will be notified.
NOTE: The Thuraya SatBridge must have an active satellite connection to initiate or
cancel any SOS request. If the terminal is not able to connect to satellite, it will show
antenna pointing pattern on the satellite antenna. Refer to the Power Sources and
Connectivity
The Thuraya SatBridge operates from these possible power sources in the following priority order:
4. AC power (100V – 240V AC). An AC plug adapter set is supplied within the Thuraya
SatBridge box to accommodate most of the world’s wall socket variants.
5. External rechargeable battery packs (external battery pack) using recommended
external battery packs. (refer to the Approved External Batteries section of this
document for more information.) External battery packs are not provided with Thuraya
SatBridge but can be purchased separately.
6. Internal Battery packs included in the Thuraya SatBridge when no external power is
available.
