Recognition for commitment to innovation and advancing the mobile satellite industry

ROCHELLE PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq: ORBC), a global provider of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced that it has received the Mobile Satellite Users Association (MSUA) 2016 M2M Mobility Satcom Innovation Award for its OG2 satellite modem. The award was presented to ORBCOMM at the Satellite 2016 Conference & Exhibition in National Harbor, MD.

ORBCOMM’s M2M modem platform is the satellite industry’s first modular, compatible OEM design that allows Value Added Resellers (VARs) and system integrators to provide seamless, interchangeable satellite connectivity at no incremental cost on the same hardware platform. The OG2 modem, which is roughly half the size of a credit card, delivers a cost-effective price point to a multitude of M2M applications.

“We are honored to receive the MSUA Innovation Award for our OG2 modem, which further demonstrates our commitment to leadership in the global M2M space through continued innovation,” said Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM’s Chief Executive Officer. “The OG2 modem, along with our new interchangeable OGi IDP modem, provide customers with unrivaled ease of use, flexibility and quality of service based on their unique application needs. Our ground-breaking modem technology is bringing the industry one step closer to creating a truly standardized satellite M2M platform.”

The versatile OG2 modem is designed to work with ORBCOMM’s newly launched second generation OG2 satellite network and is also backward compatible with ORBCOMM’s first generation OG1 satellite network. It has upgradeable firmware and satisfies all of the requirements needed for global M2M and IoT installations, including small footprint, lower power consumption, increased messaging capability, seamless integration and low cost.

ORBCOMM is actively engaged with multiple customers integrating the OG2 modem technology into their products within a host of applications including heavy equipment, transportation, marine and other markets.
