The Iridium 9523 is a voice and data transceiver module for the Iridium global satellite network. It is
designed to be integrated with field application (FA) hardware and software to produce a solution
designed for a specific application or vertical market. These solutions drive a wide range of applications
in industries such as Oil and Gas, Rail, Maritime, Aeronautical, Utilities and Government/Military.
The 9602 is designed to meet the regulatory requirements for approval for FCC, Canada, and CE
assuming an antenna with a gain of ~3 dBi and adequate shielding.
The Iridium 9523 supports all Iridium’s voice and data services. Applications can be built to use one or
multiple services using voice and data interfaces. The product provides the core transceiver module.
All other functions and hardware such as SIM card reader, keypad, display, power supply antenna etc.
must be provided by the Product Developer. The Iridium 9523 consists of the following:
 Iridium radio transceiver with 8 watt transmitter and dual receivers
 Call Processor function that implements the Iridium L-Band AIS protocol
 Iridium speech Vocoder
 Coaxial RF connector for the antenna
 40-way inter-PCB connector with the following interfaces:
o Digital audio interfaces
o DPL serial asynchronous control port
o Serial asynchronous interface for SIM
o Data/Fax port – serial asynchronous data plus 6 control signals
o GPIO control signals
o Power
