1.0 Product Overview
The Iridium 9601 Short Burst Data Only Transceiver (9601) is designed to be integrated into a wireless
data application with other hardware and software to produce a full solution designed for a specific
application or vertical market. Examples of these solutions include tracking a maritime vessel or automatic
vehicle location.
The 9601 only supports Iridium’s Short Burst Data (SBD) capability. It does not support voice, circuit
switched data, or short message service (SMS). This is a new product and has no functional
predecessor.
The 9601 will be designed to meet the regulatory requirements for approval for FCC, Canada, and CE
assuming an antenna with a gain of ~3 dBi and adequate shielding. This allows the 9601 to be integrated
into a variety of wireless data applications or retrofitted into existing SBD only applications that utilize SBD
with the current Iridium 9522A or 9522 L-Band Transceiver-based product. (Note that additional
development work will be required.) Such finished products, when integrated together, require regulatory
testing to be conducted by the integrator.
The 9601 is designed as a single board transceiver and is essentially provided as a ‘black box’
transceiver with all device interfaces provided by a single multi-pin interface connector in addition to the
antenna connector. The product only provides the core transceiver. All other end user application functions
such as GPS, microprocessor based logic control, digital and analog inputs, digital and analog outputs
power supply and antenna must be provided by the solution developer. The device interface consists of the
serial interface, power input, network available output and power on/off control line.
The 9601 does not incorporate nor require a Subscriber Identity Module (also know as a SIM Card) to be
inserted into the transceiver. The 9601 will be designed to comply with the standards for Radio Emissions
Compliance, Electromagnetic Compatibility, and AC Safety in the United States, European Union and
Canada.
The 9601 is described within this document as “9601”, “9601 SBD Transceiver”and “9601 SBD
Transceiver”all of these terms refer to the same product.

1.2 Transceiver Packaging and Regulatory Certification
The 9601 SBD Transceiver is a regulatory approved transceiver that is provided in an enclosure and with
appropriate connectors that permit the full transceiver to be regulatory tested by Iridium and sold as a
Regulatory Certified product that meets CE, FCC and IC requirements.
The 9601 is tested to the regulatory and technical certifications shown in Table 1.

Note: The initial 9601 units [shipped as 9601-P3 and 9601-PP] are different from the commercially produced 9601
SBD Transceivers from a regulatory and certification perspective. Those initial units cannot and should not be used
for any regulatory certification purposes or compliance. Only the commercial 9601 units conform to the
regulatory approved design and the regulatory and technical certifications listed in Table 1.
1.3 Software Revision
Developers should read this document in conjunction with the “Software Release Notes” relevant to the
revision of the software that is loaded into their 9601 SBD Transceiver.

Parameter Value
Length 106 mm
Width 56.2 mm
Depth 13 mm
Weight (approximate) 117g
Note that these dimensions are for the enclosure and do not take into account the connectors or mounting
hardware. Additionally developers should plan for additional space for the reciprocal connectors for the
antenna and user connector.

2.2 Mechanical Dimensions –Mounting
The 9601 SBD Transceiver is provided with four mounting holes, one at each corner. During manufacture
four screws are inserted for shipping purposes. These screws need to be removed for mounting. There
are two basic options for mounting –stackable and mounting to a surface such as a mounting plate or
enclosure wall. The following sections provide further information.
