Reference Case - Mexsat

Mexsat is a Mexican government program that provides satellite communication services over Mexico and its patrimonial seas, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. The Mexsat system is composed of two types of services: a Mobile Communications Service System, served by one dedicated satellite with its complete terrestrial components; and a Fixed Communications Service System, including one dedicated satellite and specific carrier monitoring equipment.

The communication system, including the mobile devices developed by Bittium, is targeted to high profile Mexican government agencies and using the system will also enhance Mexico's communication capabilities for example in disaster relief and emergency services.

For the Mexsat program Bittium has developed three different types of Android™ based L-band mobile devices:

  • Satellite-terrestrial Smartphone
  • Satellite-terrestrial  Rugged Enhanced
  • Satellite Rugged Basic

The satellite-terrestrial phones can be operated in both the satellite network and the terrestrial network. The users do not have to carry two separate devices with them, and establishing communications through either network is quick and easy.
