Paradigm will be showcasing their new MANTA® terminal in D.C. at the upcoming satellite show — this terminal is a Comms-On-The-Move (COTM) and Comms-On-The-Pause (COTP),  self-pointing, single case terminal.

The MANTA is the complete solution for ‘anywhere’ IP data connectivity via WiFi and Ethernet by just adding power — SATCOM made simple. The versatile MANTA operates directly ‘out-of-the-box’ for simple Deploy & Go SATCOMs, or can be quickly fitted to any vehicle (land or sea) for COTM.

The MANTA uses software beam forming for satellite acquisition and tracking; the on-board PIM® provides an optimized satellite service requiring no specialist skills to offer easy, high speed data service anywhere.

The MANTA is Paradigm’s latest PIM-enabled terminal providing rapid, high-speed connectivity from a single case. Rugged, versatile and discreet, the MANTA is the complete solution providing integrated RF, modem and terminal control, as well as a handheld or dash-mounted ‘Remote’ for live beam heading, signal strength and system status and control info.

Paradigm’s other PIM-enabled terminals include the ‘internet in a backpack’ SWARM® and the flyaway CONNECT100T and HORNET range; both terminals integrate the PIM to point the antenna.

At the upcoming satellite show, videos of all of Paradigm’s PIM-enabled terminals will be available to view at their booth (#938) with both the SWARM and MANTA available for attendees to be hands-on with.

Ongoing booth activities will include demonstrations of the straightforward operation of the PIM, with attendees able to experience how easily the onboard visual and optional audio cues guide the user during the pointing process for the firm's flyaway terminals. Live ‘on-vehicle’ demos of the MANTA are also planned during the event.
