A satellite based mobile communications system known as MSAT, was developed in Canada. It will be used primarily in rural and remote regions where the wide-area coverage and extended range features are of greatest benefit. Applications can be found in trucking, mineral exploration, forestry, law enforcement, coastal and in-land shipping, light aircraft communications, national paging, environmental sensing, remote monitoring and control of utilities, and emergency relief. The services which are likely to be offered initially on MSAT include mobile radio, mobile telephone, mobile data, wide-area paging, supervisory control, and data collection. Maritime and aeronautical services can also be provided as well as conventional telephone service to locations which for technical and economic reasons cannot be served by the fixed terrestrial and satellite infrastructures.
