...and lightest satellite data terminal for high-performance, HD SNG, is now available. The Mantis MSAT is the very first one-man portable satellite terminal that is capable of delivering HD video broadcast signals from anywhere in the world. Operational on both Ka- and Ku-bands, the Mantis MSAT can be unpacked and working within five minutes, providing up to 8Mbps of upstream HD video data throughput, subject to satellite performance.

An upgrade from the standard broadcast specification MSAT, the Mantis features a 90cm antenna and weighs in at just 14kg. The Mantis MSAT is a deceptively rugged terminal that is suitable for extreme environmental conditions. Deployed from a single lightweight backpack, the MSAT offers full support for two-way video, voice and data communications and can be carried and deployed by just one person for satellite news gathering in challenging environments.

Vislink developed the broadcast specification Mantis MSAT to address demand from broadcasters around the world that require a highly portable solution capable of delivering high definition video, voice and data communications. To ensure all-weather capability, MSAT meets the MIL 810F & DEF-STAN military specifications for shock, vibration, sand and rain and is provided as a ‘one box’ solution incorporating antenna, modem and all electronics. A high performance parabolic antenna is coupled; meeting customer requirements, with interchangeable modem and encoder options.
