Dispatch Radio Mobile Satellite Ventures Dispatch Radio Service allows work crews, drivers, search and rescue teams, firefighters, and others to stay in touch and get the job done virtually anywhere. The two-way group communications capability allows one user to talk to many, or users can conduct private one to one conversations utilizing the MSAT G-2 Hughes satellite telephone radio. The service is a cost-effective alternative to installing, maintaining, and relocating land-based two-way radio communications systems. The Dispatch Radio Network is made up of the following components: Mobile Terminal MSAT-G2 LM Land Mobile unit or MSAT-G2 Fixed Site unit MSV Satellite Satellite Hub and CGS Dispatcher   About Mobile Satellite Ventures Mobile Satellite Ventures is North America’s premier provider of mobile satellite communications. Delivering service since 1996, MSV offers customers a wide choice of wireless data, voice, fax and dispatch radio services via its existing U.S. and Canadian licensed satellites. MSV provides superior capacity and reliability for customers across North America, northern South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and in coastal waters. MSV is developing the next generation hybrid wireless network that will use a powerful satellite constellation working in unison with MSV’s patented ancillary terrestrial component (ATC) technology to deliver seamless wireless services to end-users over standard wireless devices. Dispatch Radio Service To direct and redirect your fleet reliably, Mobile Satellite Ventures Dispatch Radio Service offers two-way voice dispatch or one-way voice broadcast service. It's a cost-efficient alternative to land-based radio communications systems. Not only can you implement the service almost overnight, you don't have to build and maintain your own private network, which minimizes capital costs and eliminates network support costs altogether. The MSV network acts much the same as a radio tower, turning the entire continent into a single cell and transmitting signals to and receiving signals from subscribers on the ground. Dispatch Radio Service can also be configured to provide extra security to your subscribers. Customize your communication with talkgroups Dispatch Radio Service relies on establishing talkgroups - sets of users who share a common radio channel. Each MSAT terminal can support up to 15 talkgroups. While users can belong to more than one talkgroup, each talkgroup can include as many as 10,000 members. When establishing talkgroups, priority levels can be predetermined in order to define who will be permitted to listen and speak during each session. Users also have the ability to dial-in to a talkgroup from the PSTN or dial-out from a talkgroup to the PSTN. Dispatch Radio Service features and benefits: Priority 1 interrupt - in emergencies, a user can override other users within the same talkgroup. You can set a talkgroup to one of three different priority levels, which allows users to filter out conferences on low-priority talkgroups unless that talkgroup is selected. High-priority talkgroup conferences are always heard no matter which talkgroup is selected. Network flexibility – MSAT Terminals can be interfaced with existing terrestrial fleet communications infrastructures. Interoperability – talkgroups can be configured to allow for interagency communications between local, regional, and national emergency response organizations. Coverage Adaptability – the footprint allows subscribers to expand or reduce dispatch radio coverage as their needs change. Network reliability – Satellite networks perform during emergencies when land-based communications are not available. Secure Communications – the network employs the IMBE (Improved Multi-Band Excitation) voice codec approved by the Association of Public Safety Communications. Digital coding and scrambling prevents casual eavesdropping or monitoring of calls. Dispatch Radio Service can help people in numerous industries and occupations do their jobs more effectively: Homeland Security Public Safety Emergency Response Transportation Rail Mining Oil and Gas Forestry Utilities Coast Guard Military Law enforcement Mobile Satellite Ventures Engages Boeing To Develop Next Generation Satellites Boeing to Construct the World's Most Powerful Transparency Class Satellites to Blanket the Western Hemisphere Reston, Va., January 11, 2006 Reston, Va. - January 11, 2006 – Mobile Satellite Ventures (MSV) and Boeing (NYSE:BA) today announced that they have entered into a contract for the construction and delivery of three next generation L-band satellites. These satellites, among the most powerful commercial satellites ever built, will form the backbone of an advanced commercial telecommunications network being developed by MSV and its Canadian joint venture partner, MSV Canada. The network will be based on MSV’s patented Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) technology, which combines the best of satellite and cellular technology. It will deliver reliable, advanced and ubiquitous voice and data coverage throughout North and South America. “The agreement with Boeing solidifies our commitment to building a ubiquitous network that provides seamless coverage to our end users in North and South America. We are excited at the prospect of completing this paradigm-shifting project ahead of schedule and to provide improved service in both rural and urban areas, eliminating the telecommunications divide,” said Alexander H. Good, Vice Chairman and CEO of MSV. “Boeing is an excellent partner for our next stage of development. Their 40-year heritage in the satellite industry and vast experience in the mobile satellite arena, brings with it a wealth of experience and reliability that will prove invaluable in the construction of our next generation satellites.” “MSV is creating a critical communications asset representing a huge step forward for mobile satellite services,” said Howard Chambers, Vice President of Boeing Space & Intelligence Systems. “In addition to providing mobile service to users in the most remote regions, Boeing technology deployed by MSV will keep lines of communication open for first responders in times of natural disasters. Our focus on building powerful and highly complex satellites will deliver instantaneous access and mobility anywhere on the continent.” Building upon proven and reliable technology from predecessor satellites, including the powerful Boeing 702 infrastructure, the satellites will be among the largest and most powerful commercial satellites ever built. Each satellite’s primary antenna will be almost 75 feet across, about twice as large as any previous commercial satellite. In addition to covering the Americas with hundreds of spot beams, the satellites will use MSV’s patented ATC technology to deliver service to wireless devices that are virtually identical to cell phone handsets in terms of aesthetics, cost and functionality. With ATC, the satellites work in tandem with terrestrial based stations that provide coverage and capacity in urban areas where satellite signals are frequently blocked. The contract with Boeing also provides for the delivery of the related ground based beam forming system and other ground design elements, to provide the most advanced beam forming flexibility and interference cancellation unprecedented in commercial satellite systems. These technological advances will allow MSV optimal deployment of its ATC technology and spectrum utilization. “This agreement for the construction of the state of the art L-band system marks the beginning of an exciting new era for mobile communications in Canada and the United States,” said Larry J. Boisvert, Chairman of MSV Canada. “It demonstrates the commitment of MSV and MSV Canada to bring the most advanced wireless services to the regions of the western hemisphere.” The contract provides for the delivery of MSV-1 and MSV-2, which will replace and expand upon the current MSAT satellite system operated by MSV and MSV Canada. Like the MSAT satellites, the MSV-1 and MSV-2 satellites will cover Canada, the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Caribbean Basin, as well as Mexico. The third satellite, MSV-SA will introduce MSV’s advanced communications services into South America. Boeing will build the spacecraft bus infrastructure, based on the world’s most powerful satellite – the Boeing 702. It will supply 11,000 Watts of power through 5-panel solar array wings using highly efficient triple-junction Gallium arsenide cells. Boeing will build upon a quarter-century heritage of integrating and deploying L-band technology. The 22 meter L-band reflector for mobile terminal links will complement a 1.5 meter Ku-band antenna. The spacecraft will also be equipped with a qualified digital channelizer that maximizes spectrum allocation. With the constellation of MSV-1, MSV-2, and MSV-SA, Boeing will provide the technology that will enable MSV to offer their customers advanced mobile services using small, handheld terminals interoperable with terrestrial terminals. The signing of this contract kicks off, ahead of schedule, the regulatory construction milestone requirements for the satellites. The satellites are expected to be launched in 2009 and 2010.
