Data collection for meteorology, oceanography and seismology::
Data collection for meteorology, oceanography and seismology: For meteorology, oceanography, hydrology and seismology applications, ELTA proposes a high stability and low consumption transmitter which is suited to the constraints encountered in those applications. This transmitter is compatible with satellites ARGOS and SCD. Fleet and cargo tracking: Because of its small size and high technological level, the HAL2 is a necessary element for applications that require an accurate localization.

Data collection for meteorology::
For meteorology applications, ELTA recommends the use of the BM18/19 beacon widely used in the weather stations and weather buoys and that proved its high reliability. This equipment communicates with Meteosat satellite.

ORBCOMM demonstrator::
This demonstrator enables interfacing with the ORBCOMM satellite constellation: Users may transmit and receive e-mails including text and GPS localization from any point of the world using only this module and a portable computer.

Equipment for Telemetry and Telecommand via INMARSAT::
In this application, the equipment used is an INMARSAT C gondola that enables the management of stratospheric balloons for long flights. This system is used to transmit telemetry and telecommand and to pilot the gondola over the Earth surface except over the two Poles. This gondola is of the ergonomic type and fully automatic.

Equipment for Telemetry and Telecommand via IRIDIUM ::
This equipment provides the communication between an Iridium mobile telephone and a modem on the Switched Telephone Network (STN). It includes a GPS system and an Iridium mobile telephone used to locate and transmit. This is an ergonomic, automatic, low consumption module which provides a worldwide coverage, including especially the South and North Poles.
