1. Overview of the Digi m10
The Digi m10 is an ORBCOMM Subscriber Communicator, which enables modem-like access to
the ORBCOMM satellite network. It is ideal for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications (e.g.
asset tracking, utility meters, pipeline monitoring, etc.) that monitor or control remote assets. It
can be added to an existing tracking system or run as a stand-alone modem.
