SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
MotoSAT, a leading provider of innovative mobile and fixed satellite antenna
solutions, debuts its Messenger series antenna at this year`s National
Association of Broadcasters Convention (NAB 2009), Las Vegas Convention Center,
April 20-23, in booth OE430. The Messenger is MotoSAT`s most advanced mobile
VSAT system to date, and was designed specifically to meet the technical and
environmental demands of the digital satellite newsgathering (DSNG) industry.
MotoSAT will be demonstrating the Messenger`s electronic newsgathering (ENG) and
video conferencing capabilities during NAB 2009 at its outdoor booth. 

The Messenger series was developed to be in a best of class category for mobile
auto pointing Ku-band antennas. Its rugged design and compact dimensions allow
it to fit a wide variety of mobile applications and industries. The Messenger`s
all-new dual compound gearing drive for elevation and azimuth control provides
quick and accurate positioning with zero-backlash. Messenger is compatible with
a wide range of HPA-BUC configurations, which is critical for supporting high
definition broadcasting (MPEG-4), satellite newsgathering (SNG), and video
conferencing. The Messenger series is available in 1.2 Meter or .98 Meter
reflectors. 

"The Messenger antenna is going to bring electronic newsgathering and video
broadcasting within reach of a whole new generation of customers," said Jim
Pendleton, president and CEO of MotoSAT. "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."
