Scientific-Atlanta Offers

Enhanced Features For

Mobile SATCOM Terminals

Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. has added five new enhancements to its mo- bile satellite communications ter- minals. The maritime-based

MariStar-M® and the land-based

TerraStar-M are reportedly the industry's first mobile terminals to offer Secure Terminal Unit encryp- tion compatibility; group call capa- bilities; credit card payment; pre- paid minutes software; and fixed

Land Earth Station assignment.

Scientific-Atlanta is reportedly the first manufacturer to offer this fea- ture set for Inmarsat-M terminals.

Scientific-Atlanta was also report- edly the first to ship Inmarsat- M terminals, the first to offer fax ca- pabilities on those terminals, and the first to gain Inmarsat type ap- proval for both land and maritime mobile terminals. The MariStar-M terminal provides international travelers with global two-way tele- phone communications and optional fiax and data capabilities, in a brief- case-sized package, for vessels 35 ft. (11 m) or longer.

Other features of the MariStar and TerraStar units are: Secure

Terminal Unit (STU) encryption compatibility which allows the units to be used by those who require secure communications; Conference

Network Calling (CNC) providing users with group call capabilities; credit card payment; pre-paid min- utes software; andfixed Land Earth

Station (LES) assignment.
