MCD-VOYAGER Overview
The MCD-VOYAGER "Mobile Communications Device", is an auto-pointing Thuraya IP
satellite terminal that requires no user training to operate. Simply place the weather-tight
case on the ground, or on a boat deck, or on any surface with a clear view of the sky, rain
or shine, anywhere in the world and turn it on - no pointing necessary. Within a minute,
the MCD-VOYAGER becomes a wireless hotspot for any wireless device up to 100 meters
from the case for up to 5 hours on the internal battery. The auto-pointing case uses the
auto-acquire in-motion Thuraya terminal integrated with our proprietary mobile
electronics for a ruggedized self-contained, in-field, user-friendly solution.
