9522B – Iridium 9522B L-Band Transceiver
The latest Iridium 9522B L-Band transceiver is a stand-alone module that provides developers a module that can be integrated into application based equipment or dedicated terminal developments.

The 9522B LBT is intended for incorporation into a final Iridium application / product that would supply power to the unit as well as the appropriate data and or voice interface.

Data applications are also supported through an RS-232 serial interface and the 9522B uses the DPL bus for digital voice communications.
