Detailed description

Oznaka Yellow Brick YB3 podjetja YB Tracking je satelitski sledilni sistem zasnovan za delovanje v najbolj zahtevnih morskih in kopenskih okoljih. Temelji na satelitski konstelaciji Iridium prek modema 9602, kar zagotavlja globalno pokritje od pola do pola brez senc, kar jo uvršča med robustne alternative v primerjavi z osebnimi sledilci.

Zmogljivost lociranja in komunikacije

Opremljena z 50-kanalnim GPS čipom uBlox in zankasto anteno Maxtena za omrežje Iridium, ta oznaka zagotavlja izjemno natančnost lokacije. Hitrost osveževanja lahko doseže 4Hz, z izredno hitrim časom pridobitve prvega fiksiranja (Time To First Fix) manj kot eno sekundo v vročem stanju in manj kot 60 sekund v hladnem. GPS občutljivost -160dBm zagotavlja zajem signala tudi v težkih pogojih. Vmesnik temelji na monokromatskem OLED zaslonu velikosti 26 x 35 mm, ki je jasen in berljiv v vseh okoliščinah. Bluetooth povezanost omogoča enostavno povezavo z mobilnimi napravami, medtem ko standardni USB vhod zagotavlja polnjenje in prenos podatkov.

Trdna konstrukcija in avtonomija

Zasnovana za ekstremne razmere, oznaka YB3 izpolnjuje vojaške standarde MIL-STD-810G za odpornost na udarce in vibracije. Njena ohišje, certificirano kot IP67, je popolnoma neprepustno za prah in prenese potopitev do 1 metra. Zmožna je delovanja v temperaturah od -30°C do 60°C, vsebuje pa visoko zmogljivo LiPo baterijo 5,3Ah. Električna poraba je nadzorovana z največjo močjo 8W pri oddajanju/prejemanju. Z maso 305 gramov in kompaktno velikostjo 144 x 76 x 36 mm (brez antene) se enostavno integrira v opremo za preživetje ali krmno mesto plovila.

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 charge the YB3 beacon?

Charging 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 screen. It is designed to be clear and readable in all conditions, even in strong light conditions.

What is the accuracy of the integrated GPS?

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

How does satellite communication billing work?

Billing is based on a monthly subscription (Basic, Standard, Pro or Corporate plans) combined with a prepaid credit system. Credits are consumed 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 should be placed in a location with an unobstructed 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 both for 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 very high-performance 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 very rough conditions.

Do I need to configure the beacon 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 reporting 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 write and send short text messages via the satellite network, using your communication credits.
