The ViaSat SurfBeam 2 (SB2) Pro Portable Terminal (Figure 1-1) provides portable and quickly deployable, high-speed
internet and network connections in remote regions. The unit supports live video, file transfer, internet browsing and
more. It functions across multiple operating systems and hardware platforms to support various applications (e.g.,
Skype, Google, Yahoo, etc.).
The SB2 Pro Portable Terminal is a true “Go Anywhere” device designed to meet the exacting needs of first responders,
newsgathering, and other professional applications. With its compact size, easy setup, ruggedized hardware (built to
MIL-STD-810 specifications), and support of both AC and DC power, the unit can be deployed in any location.
The Pro Portable Terminal’s design allows it to be setup, configured, and function in harsh environments (high winds,
rain, snow, and dust). Items such as a weatherproof modem (with a built in four port Ethernet router) and GPS allow
for easy satellite acquisition and quick service connection.
