Satellite
POWER-trak3 Fleet Management Software is compatible with the MSAT-1 satellite service, using the PDT-100 satellite transceiver. The satellite network is comprised of the TMI MSAT-1 satellite, a geostationary satellite in orbit 36,000 kilometers (approx. 22, 400 miles) above the earth matching the earth's rotation, thus maintaining a fixed position over North America.



Using MSAT-1's spot beam technology, the service offers superior coverage and capacity. This technology turns all of North, Central America, northern South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and up to 250 miles offshore into a single, digital communications cell.


As a result, CES Wireless can deliver to end-users advanced and affordable wireless data communications from anywhere to anywhere, on land, at sea, or in the air.

The satellite's on-board telecommunications payload is capable of handling thousands of simultaneous secure and reliable transmissions. MSAT-1 brings the benefits of telecommunications and information to areas without access to conventional land-based telecom networks and makes it ideally suited to the unique needs of the transportation, utility, oil & gas, government, maritime, and resource industries.

Satellite Operation and Maintenance
Telesat - Canada

Ground Segment
The MSAT-1 satellite is the heart of the TMI network, but the ground segment, commonly referred to as the Communication Ground Segment (CGS) is its nervous system, providing the links to terrestrial public and private data networks.

Data transmissions from subscribers are relayed by the satellite to the Communications Ground Segment (CGS), which houses the Network Operations and Network Control Center.

Supplied to TMI by Westinghouse Electronic Systems Group, the CGS is the nerve center of the TMI Network. It processes all calls providing full connectivity to public and private phone and data networks, linking subscribers to anyone, anywhere in the world.

TMI has a phenomenal achievement of 99.9% network availability because of the quality of its systems, proprietary software, and staff.
