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.
