The MSAT satellites operate in a similar manner to a cellular microwave repeater, but have a much greater range. Using the MSAT spot beam technology, SkyTerra offers superior coverage and capacity. This technology turns all of North America, Central America, northern South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and up to 250 miles offshore into a single, digital communications cell. As a result, SkyTerra can deliver to users in its coverage area advanced and affordable wireless communications from anywhere to anywhere, on land, at sea, or in the air.
