AXTracker: An Inexpensive Satellite Transmitter
for Sensing Changes at Remote Locations

Conclusions

The AXTracker is a relatively low-cost satellite telemetry system that can transmit monitoring information from remote locations. While other satellite telemetry systems may be more robust and handle more sophisticated sensors and larger data packets (to provide more information than the simple on/off data packet), the AXTracker can provide simple monitoring and reporting at a reasonable cost. The range of applications for the AXTracker depends not only on the type of sensors needed, but on user creativity.
