Each TDM carrier transports a baseband bit rate of 1536 kbits/sec. The Baseband can be divided into up to 96 Broadcast Channels The maximum Broadcast Channel bit Rate is 128 kbit/s Each beam covers 14 million square kilometers of the earth’s surface. Small personal radios receive the TDM carriers and select a desired Broadcast Channel AfriStar and AsiaStar are now in orbit, Ameristar is yet to be launched.

15. User Terminals Can be Configured to Provide Time-Phased Capabilities 3 Types of user terminals are currently envisioned • Wearable • Based on modified COTS • Software mods to current product • Wearable • Text display • Mission focus: alerts • Can be integrated with VOIP Controller • BFT Accelerator • Mission focus: rapid updates of SA data • High capacity data updates to mobile networks • Tablet-Based • Modification to Military App software • Runs on Modified COTS or CDA • Mapping application to receive maps and satellite photos • Mission: SA data for agents or first responders.

16. Conclusions • MESA is a unique emergency communications and alert capability available TODAY. • Affordable common operational picture and tailored broadcast services to field agents, key locations, key leaders, or the entire public on ground, in air, or off shore. • “Bolt-on” to existing Information Server Files and Programs. • Securable and completely portable with the user.
