What is a SPOT Gateway? PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 23 February 2009 12:21

A SPOT Gateway is a satellite ground terminal which receives and sends signals to and from satellites passing in view. SPOT has a network of 13 Gateways around the globe to support the SPOT services. Each Gateway has redundant equipment, a backup power system and two independent private data connections to the SPOT data centers. Their locations are selected to provide maximum coverage and redundancy through overlapping coverage. Listening 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, these gateways pass SPOT messages to our data center and on to your friends and family or to the International Emergency Response Center. Gateways are one of the pieces of the system that allows each SPOT Customer to stay in touch or summon help when needed from almost anywhere on the globe.
