The Cerberus satellite system is a three-part communication system consisting of CerberLink, a handheld satellite communication device, CerberTouch, a smart phone app designed to communicate with CerberLink by Bluetooth, and CerberCenter, a server developed to handled satellite messaging.  The system was developed in nine months.  The project involved mechanical and industrial design for the CerberLink enclosure which is rated to IP67 as well as firmware and hardware development for CerberLink’s internals.  Smartphone applications were developed for iOS, Android and BlackBerry.  The back office, CerberCenter, supports a number of ground breaking features including real-time safety alerts based on a user’s location and smart messaging that efficiently delivers messages by Wi-Fi, Internet or satellite as required.

CerberLink was the world’s first device Bluetooth enabled device that allowed a smartphone to send and receive text based messages anywhere on the planet using satellites.

CerberLink was designed to work with a smartphone or by itself.
