Whether the need is combat support, intelligence, executive travel, special missions or homeland security, the L3 Panther VSAT terminal from L-3 GCS provides high-speed data communications for Internet, VPN connectivity and video transmission. This highly rugged L3 VSAT manpack terminal is light weight, highly portable and offers Inmarsat BGAN-like simplicity, but with significantly high data rates over commercial and military satellites.

The complete terminal is packed into two rugged, airline checkable cases. The smallest, most rugged VSAT terminal of its type, the .96M Panther provides up to 6 Mbps (transmit) and up to 45 Mbps (receive) data rates.
The standard manpack terminal is offered with an embedded iDirect Evolution iConnex e850mp modem with DVBS2 receive capability and TDMA return channel.

The modem incorporates Adaptive Code Modulation (ACM), which allows for high data throughput and flexibility in disadvantaged satellite coverage areas. The Panther integrates an elegant, but simple manual antenna pointing method using intuitive visual indicators. This allows for easy, accurate, and quick acquisition without bulky motors, drive systems or complex test equipment.

The high gain of the antenna enables the terminal to be used in less than optimal locations within the satellite footprint. Ethernet data interfaces are provided for connection of various data, voice and video devices using an
Everything Over IP (EoIP) approach. Control is via a simple, embedded web-based GUI.
