Your cellular-equipped Spotter is not subject to the data cost constraints typical of Iridium-only Spotters. Using High Data Rate (HDR), you can send much more rich data and do so frequently, with processing rates configurable to intervals as short as 15 minutes.
In the
Iridium data modes, wave displacement (X-Y-Z movement) is computed onboard and processed into bulk statistics, partitioned statistics, or full spectrum data, which are sent over Iridium to your Spotter dashboard and API. Your cellular-equipped Spotter is able to send the wave displacement time series directly to the cloud, allowing for far greater flexibility in analysis.

blog post. If you have questions about your operation’s cellular data needs, please reach out to

Tip: Using the Spotter dashboard, you can adjust your Spotter's cellular data processing rate to intervals of 15, 20, 30, and 60 minutes. Your device's cellular connection is constantly monitored under Device Status.
