Detailed description

Datorizētā pavadoņpārraides bāka Yellow Brick YB3 no YB Tracking ir satelītu sekošanas sistēma, kas paredzēta darbībai visgrūtākajos jūras un sauszemes apstākļos. Pamatā izmantojot pavadoņu sistēmu Iridium ar 9602 modemu, tā nodrošina globālu segumu no poliem līdz poliem bez ēnu zonām, kļūstot par noturīgu alternatīvu masu tirgus sekošanas ierīcēm.

Novietojuma un sakaru veiktspēja

Aprīkota ar 50 kanālu GPS uBlox čipu un Iridium tīkla spirālveida antenu no Maxtena, šī bāka nodrošina augstu atrašanās vietas precizitāti. Tās atjaunošanas ātrums var sasniegt 4 Hz, ar ātrāko atrašanās laiku (Time To First Fix) mazāk par vienu sekundi karstā režīmā un mazāk par 60 sekundēm aukstā režīmā. GPS jutība -160 dBm garantē signāla uztveršanu arī grūtākos apstākļos. Lietotāja interfeiss balstās uz 26 x 35 mm OLED ekrānu, kas ir skaidrs un lasāms visos apstākļos. Bluetooth savienojamība ļauj viegli pārlūkoties ar mobilajiem ierīcēm, kamēr standarta USB ports nodrošina lādēšanu un datu pārraidi.

Noturīga konstrukcija un autonomija

Izstrādāta ekstrēmām vajadzībām, YB3 bāka atbilst militārajām standarta prasībām MIL-STD-810G pret triecieniem un vibrācijām. Tās korpuss ar sertifikātu IP67 ir pilnībā putekļu necaurlaidīgs un iztur līdz 1 metra dziļuma ieniršanu. Spēj darboties temperatūrās no -30°C līdz 60°C, tā ir aprīkota ar augstas jaudas 5,3 Ah LiPo bateriju. Elektroenerģijas patēriņš ir optimizēts, maksimāli līdz 8W pārraidē/priēmā. Ar tikai 305 gramu masu un kompaktiem izmēriem 144 x 76 x 36 mm (bez antenas), tā viegli integrējas kuģa avārijas aprīkojumā vai stūres postenī.

Frequently asked questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the Yellow Brick YB3 beacon?

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 operate.

Which satellite network is used by the YB3 beacon?

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

Is the YB3 beacon fully waterproof?

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

What is the capacity of the integrated battery?

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

How to recharge the YB3 beacon?

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 a power bank.

What are the dimensions and weight of the device?

The device is designed to be compact and easily portable:

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

Does the beacon have a screen to read the information?

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

What is the accuracy of the built-in GPS?

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.

How does satellite communication billing work?

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

Where should the beacon be installed on a boat?

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

What type of cable is required for data transfer?

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

Is the YB3 beacon suitable for land use?

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

What is the GPS position refresh rate?

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

What does the MIL-STD-810G standard guarantee for this product?

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

Should the beacon be configured before going to sea?

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

What type of antenna is fitted on the YB3 beacon?

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

Can text messages be sent with the YB3 tag?

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.
