[Satellite Today 04-21-09] MotoSAT released its Messenger series mobile VSAT antenna, the company announced April 20.
    MotoSAT said the mobile auto-pointing Ku-band antenna is designed specifically to meet the technical and environmental demands of the digital satellite newsgathering (DSNG) industry.
    Messenger is compatible with a range of HPA-BUC configurations, supporting high definition broadcasting (MPEG-4), satellite newsgathering (SNG), and video conferencing.
    “The Messenger antenna is going to bring electronic newsgathering and video broadcasting within reach of a whole new generation of customers. When combined with our new DVB S2 controllers, the Messenger becomes a single button, single operator process, making it a very cost effective solution for the broadcasting industry. MotoSAT is also expecting the Messenger to become a viable option for many of our customers in the oil and gas, government and military, and emergency response industries who need reliable satellite broadband service under extreme environmental conditions,” said Jim Pendleton, president and CEO of MotoSAT, in a statement.
