In the past, a Vsat installation on board of a vehicle could not be used when the vehicle was on the move.

The mobile system "IPStar MVV" here on the left has the following features :

• Quick deployment in less than 10 minutes
• Automatic Satellite Acquisition and Antenna Pointing System via GPS
• Proven IPSTAR 1.2-meter high efficiency antenna design
• STAR topology
• 1W or 2W options for IPSTAR Outdoor Unit sub-system
• IPSTAR Indoor Unit sub-system, configurable bit rate of up to 4Mbps Receiving and 2Mbps Transmitting.
• Environmental Control Unit (ECU) and Cooling System
• Optional IP Application sub-system
• Optional single-thread and fully redundant electronics
• Optional diesel generator with power distribution unit and emergency stop.

Now IPStar (broadband satellite for Asia & Pacific) launches what they presented in Telecom World in Hongkong last December: IPStar iMove, a 5.5'' (1.5m) flat, roof mountable, array antenna system made by RaySat  (SpeedRay 3000) with the following features:
