6. Message Options From-Terminal To-Terminal Burst: 10 bytes
Use all 10 bytes: “transparent” message*
Only use 9 bytes: “custom” position/status report
Only use 8 bytes: “standard” position/status report
Extended Burst: 25 bytes
“transparent” message*
To-Terminal
0-100 bytes user-defined message
Optional Terminal Acknowledgement Request
LES Acknowledgement
* Transparent messages generated by external controller via RS232

7. Position/Status Message Size
“Standard poll” messages built into DMR and SureLinx for ease of use
8 bytes contain basic position, I/O, status
1 byte Destination Address can be used for message routing
Adds flexibility – e.g. emergency messages processed by different server vs normal
1 byte Message Descriptor
Improves application efficiency – message labels distinguish events
Increases security – indicates if message generated by DMR or external device
“Custom poll” messages can be defined by customer
Use up to 9 bytes (including Destination Address)
Transparent messages generated by external controller
Can use full 10 or 25 bytes payload
Mobile applications can only use 25 bytes between +/- 50 latitude
Fixed applications “point” the antenna to use 25 bytes anywhere

8. Latency Latency is seen in two cases:
Poll/response:
Control station sends a message to-terminal and gets a reply
From-terminal:
Terminal or external controller generates & sends message
Normal operation and wakeup operation are different
IsatM2M enhancements relative to D+:
4x faster frame-rate (30s instead of 2 minutes)
Terminals do not need to return to Bulletin Board in most cases (saves up to 4 minutes on wakeup)
Latency D+
IsatM2M
Poll/response
~ 6 min
~ 3 min
From-terminal – normal operation
~ 2 min
< 1 min
From-Terminal – wakeup from sleep*
~ 5 min
~ 1 min
* Non-GPS IsatM2M terminals will take as long as D+

10. Billing Add IsatM2M service to an existing plan
New minimum monthly fee for IsatM2M terminals
No change to existing D+ pricing
New simplified plans available
To-Terminal messages simplified
$ Base + $/Byte, bytes (no small/large)
All equivalent to D+ “high” priority
From-Terminal messages simplified
Alarm messages billed as 3x normal
