QPRO Technical Data Sheet
Document 1137-0901, REV K 6
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The QUAKE QPRO is a complete IP67 enclosed solution ready for global use. The QPRO is designed to
communicate with terrestrial network systems when a cell signal is available, and to slide seamlessly into its
back-up mode and communicate with a satellite system when a cell signal is not available. Besides this
advanced modem functionality, the QPRO has additional processing power, memory, and I/Os that allow
sophisticated customer applications to run within the modem. Using an integrated power regulator, the
QPRO is designed to operate over a 6-32 volt input range. It has been specifically designed to meet the
demanding requirements of vehicular environments and directly supports communication over a vehicle bus
using the SAE J1939 standards. These features make the QPRO an ideal stand-alone solution for a large
variety of applications including transportation, oil and gas and heavy equipment markets.
This Technical Data Sheet presents an overview of the QPRO technology, device specifications, integration
guidelines, and basic information on configuring and programming. Additional QUAKE manuals, including the
User’s Guide to Q4000/QPRO, P/N 1135-4713, can be accessed on our website or by contacting QUAKE
Customer Support at http://QUAKEglobal.com/support/.
1.2 Control Options
The QPRO has the option of running in standalone mode or QUAKE Communications Protocol (QCP)
mode.
In standalone mode, the user’s application resides directly on the modem. QUAKE provides sample
applications as part of the Development Kit to help users create, build and run their own custom applications.
QCP mode is used to send data via GSM/GPRS, or a single satellite system such as ORBCOMM, Iridium,
Globalstar or Inmarsat. Customers who use the Q4000/QPRO in this mode typically have a processor, and
the necessary I/O for their specific applications, and use the Q4000/QPRO as a modem only or to add
functionality such as additional I/O’s, GPS, etc. The QUAKE Communication Protocol (QCP) is used to
communicate between the QPRO and the application.
