Prijenosna satelitska oznaka YB Tracking YB3

The Yellow Brick YB3 beacon is a professional satellite tracking system designed by YB Tracking. It enables geolocation of people or vessels in the most extreme marine and terrestrial environments, where standard mobile networks no longer work.

It relies on the Iridium satellite constellation via its 9602 modem. This provides truly global coverage, pole-to-pole, with no dead zones.

Yes, it has IP67 certification. It is fully dustproof and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep, making it ideal for marine use.

The beacon integrates a high-capacity 5.3Ah LiPo battery. Its power consumption is tightly controlled (8W maximum during transmission/reception), providing excellent autonomy for long expeditions.

Recharging is done very simply via its standard USB port (5V input voltage). You can plug it into any standard USB charger, a computer, or an external battery.

The device is designed to be compact and easily portable:

Dimensions: 144 x 76 x 36 mm (excluding antenna)Weight: 305 grams

Yes, it is equipped with a 26 x 35 mm monochrome OLED screen. It is designed to be clear and readable in all conditions, even in strong light conditions.

It is equipped with a uBlox 50-channel GPS chip with a sensitivity of -160dBm. This ensures extremely precise and reliable signal acquisition, even in harsh weather conditions.

The system operates on a monthly subscription (Basic, Standard, Pro, or Corporate models) combined with a prepaid credit system. Credits are deducted each time the beacon sends a position report or a text message.

For optimal operation, the beacon must be placed in an area with a clear view of the sky (e.g., at the helm or on the deck). This allows the GPS and Iridium antennas to receive signals without interference.

A standard USB cable is sufficient. The beacon's USB port is used both for battery charging and for data transfer with a computer.

Yes, although it is highly valued in the nautical sector, it is designed to operate in the harshest terrestrial environments (deserts, mountains, jungles) thanks to its robustness and global coverage.

The position update rate (Update Rate) is highly performant and can reach up to 4Hz depending on the selected configuration.

The MIL-STD-810G military certification guarantees that the beacon has been tested and validated to withstand extreme shocks and vibrations. It is a mark of reliability for use on high-speed vessels or in highly rough conditions.

Yes, it is essential to prepare the beacon before departure. You must ensure that your subscription is active, that you have sufficient credits, and configure the position transmission frequency via the interface or mobile application.

It is equipped with a Maxtena helical antenna, specifically designed to optimize communication with the Iridium satellite network, ensuring seamless data transmission.

Yes. By pairing the tag with your smartphone via Bluetooth, you can use the dedicated app to compose and send short text messages via the satellite network, using your communication credits.

The acquisition time (Time To First Fix) is extremely fast:

Hot start: less than 1 secondWarm start: less than 20 secondsCold start: less than 60 seconds
