Q. What is the term “associated” as it pertains to the SPOT and STU signals?

A. Each SPOT and each STU have their own unique ESN’s (electronic serial numbers). MGM software is programmed to make association matches for confirmation that an access to a magazine is in fact an “authorized access”. For example if three persons (each assigned their own SPOT units)are permitted to access six magazines (each with their own STUs)in a geographic area, each of the three SPOT unit ESN’s are software associated to provide a precursor signal to the system which it then determines can make an authorized entry on any of the six magazines their SPOTs are associated with. At a later date if required, more STU’s can be added to each SPOT units “associated list” as required. Also if required, more SPOT units can be added to the associated list for each STU located on each magazine.
