USGS Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) Decoder Library

Java library for decoding Iridium Short Burst Data packets.

About

This Java software library is used to decode Short Burst Data packets transmitted from the Iridium satellite networking using the DirectIP configuration. When paired with a simple TCP socket listener, this library enables the header and payload data to be extracted from the message and parsed successfully. The user must define the data types they are expecting in the payload as well as any scale transformation that should be applied.
