Delphi Corp. delivered the first shipment of the new DS300 satellite transceiver modem to Stellar Satellite Communications, Delphi announced Nov.2. The modem, aimed at the asset-tracking market, delivers data via the Orbcomm satellite network.

Data is sent from the modem to a data center and then to the subscribing company to provide up-to-date information on the performance of equipment such as pipelines, oil wells, energy meters and storage tanks, as well as fleets, airplanes and boats.

The DS300 is the second in a series of modems to be jointly developed by Stellar and Delphi. Delphi began shipping the first generation unit, the DS100 for remote monitoring and tracking, to Stellar in June.
