What is a mobile satellite service?
A mobile satellite service (MSS) is a service provided by a satellite system which communicates with portable terminals on the ground, which can be mounted on a ship, airplane, or car or carried by a person. Such systems allow high-speed communication throughout Europe between satellites and, for instance, handheld mobile terminals comparable to smart mobile phones or portable computers. Mobile satellite services themselves can range from high-speed internet access to mobile television or radio, and public protection and disaster relief. Another well- known example is portable satellite telephones that allow phone calls to be made and received anywhere in the world.
