You're In Business

Global Data Burst Ltd. is a verified entity offering legitimate satellite paging hardware (GDB Pager) utilizing the Iridium Burst service. While the technology provides high utility for niche safety, military, and industrial (M2M) applications, the submission is critically flawed. It falsely claims a mass-market audience ('everyone') and non-existent traction ('most people have used my product'). Verified data indicates a small-scale operation (team of ~6) with specific B2B utility. The low score reflects the severe penalty for inaccurate claims and the niche nature of the actual product, despite valid technical innovation.

Project Details

Description
Whilst satellite based paging has been achieved in the past, the reception limitations, software deficiencies and hardware capabilities have severely constrained the feasible range of applications. The GDB Pager exploits the new Iridium Burst service to provide a complete global satellite paging solution. Global Data Burst is an entirely new service that makes it easy to transmit paging messages and data to one, tens, hundreds, thousands, even millions of devices at a time using the Iridium satellite network – with a pricing structure that doesn’t break the bank. GDB Pager - The world's only truly global pager The GDB Pager offers a cost-efficient and low-latency broadcast data service. The high signal penetration capabilities mean you can now send data to an unlimited number of devices anywhere on Earth whether inside buildings, in-vehicle or in aircraft. From tsunami warnings to weather and traffic alerts, over-the-air updates and other machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, the GDB Pager presents an unrivaled opportunity for businesses, government agencies, military and other entities to broadcast and receive data.
