Satellite file transfer using BlueTraker® transponder as a gateway
Documentation
*BT-API Developer's Manual ver.: 1.1 October 2009
* BT DLL is an API stack for the 3rd party developers who would like to use BlueTraker®
transponder as the Iridium satellite gateway to send files from the vessel’s on board PC via
Iridium satellites to the land. In this framework, the purpose of the »BT-DLL« utility is to
allow any Win32 application to use the functionality of the BlueTraker® device. Files up
to the size of 48kB can be sent very cost effectively and the BlueTraker® can be queried
for the UTC time, GPS position etc. Receiving of files can currently be added only as an option.
These tools are primarily developed to support the European Community E-Logbook initiative for
the Fisheries where »Catch Report« is to be sent daily from the fishing vessel to the Fisheries
Monitoring Centre on land.
