Mission Communications Terminal
MCT adds two-way texting and push-to-talk capabilities that make it easier than before to exchange information between flight dispatchers and aircraft. This enables a radio-like communications service regardless of distance. It also significantly improves safety by delivering weather and mission updates quickly, as well as saving money for operators by minimizing the need to make voice telephone calls.
The MCT is the smallest satellite communications controller supporting all Iridium-based services, including tracking, messaging and push-to-talk. This provides more capabilities for existing and future customers, while taking up less room in the helicopter.
