Archived : This is not active anymore for a long time. I'm keeping it since it might be a helpful reference, but there is no intention on maintaining it. This was a pilot project at IDG-SIO. Around 2017-2018, I developed another solution using Rust instead, so this Python package has not been used since that. This is a nice proof of concept but I found a latency up to O[100] miliseconds, which was occasionaly an issue. I don't recommend using this for production.

Iridium SBD communication

Documentation Status

Communication system for Iridium Short Burst Data Service.

A python package to handle direct IP communications with Iridium gateway.

The goal here is to organize it as a standalone Python package with the objective to communicate binary data with Iridium Gateway. It does not try to understand the data being transmitted/received, but that task should be done by another resource. As a python package it is easier to install and update on different machines. With a small and specific objective it is easier to write tests and maintain it.

This is part of a bigger project for IDG communication system with remote instruments as Spray and SOLO.
