PROJECT SUMMARY

Datalink Systems Inc. was contracted to develop and supply a highly secure satellite based tracking and emergency alert system to track special trains moving nuclear waste across the USA.  A satellite terminal located on the train transmitted the data over the MSV MSAT1 satellite to the ground station, where it was them re-transmitted over MSAT1 to a satellite receiver located on the monitoring company's building. This data path was considered more secure than any terrestrial alternative.

System was designed by Datalink and became active in 2002.
