This system offers the same features as the original Man-Pack terminal now deployed In-Theater for the US Army. The MST-100M features a fully motorized platform with auto-acquisition which locates and peaks on the desired satellite. This allows a soldier to focus on other tasks while the system locates the network which typically takes between 2-5 minutes. The Man-Pack Satellite Terminal (MST) is a portable communications system consisting of a .75m satellite dish, tripod, and modem which are conveniently carried in a backpack for easy, remote use. The system can be configured to accommodate various up and down bandwidths. With Advanced DVB-RCS/S2 the system is capable of uplinking over 600Kbps of usable bandwidth. Slightly larger antennae yield larger uplink bandwidths. The MST-100 is available in two models: MST-100 (with Computer Assisted Pointing – CAP) and MST-100-M (motorized pointing). Both models are:
- Available with Advanced DVB-RCS/S2, TDMA, FTDMA, DAMA or SCPC TOPOLOGY
- Dual Frequency DVB-RCS remote terminals
- All usable Satcom bands available (C, X, KU, and KA-Bands)
- Manual point with Cap OR Auto-Acquire/deploy systems
- Remote systems for Vehicles, Man-Pack, Fly-Away, Fixed Base Operations
- Secure and Non-secure Voice option built in to the ACS-4100 series modem
