Mexican Satellite System (MEXSAT)
Integrated Network System, Offering Proven End-to-End Solutions

Mexican Satellite System (MEXSAT)
MEXSAT is Mexico’snext-generation telecommunications system.
The MEXSAT program is an end-to-end satellite communications
system consisting of three satellites, two ground sites, associated
network operations systems,and reference user terminals.
Representing a fourth generation of Boeing satellites to
serve México, the MEXSAT system will join the country’s
current satellite fleet to offer mobile satelliteservices and
fixed satellite services to support national security, civil
and humanitarian efforts. Disaster relief, emergency
communications, telemedicine, rural education, and
government agencyoperations are among the services the
MEXSAT system will provide.
The MEXSAT regional mobile satellite system builds on
Boeing’s 13-year history of designing and delivering
advanced geomobile satellitecommunications systems,
including the Thuraya satellite system for Thuraya
Telecommunications Co., LTD in the United Arab Emirates,
and the SkyTerra satellite system for LightSquared in theUnited States. Boeing was among the industry pioneers
when it launched Syncom in 1963, the world’s first
geosynchronous communications satellite.
The contract calls for Boeing to design and deliver acomplete end-to-end turnkey system consisting of: two
Boeing 702HP geomobile satellites; an Orbital Sciences
Corporation StarTM 2.4 satellite for fixed satellite services;
two ground stations inMéxico, with a spacecraft operations
center for network managerment and operation; and
ground-based beam-forming and communications network
equipment. Boeing also will deliver reference user terminals,which enable the end users of MEXSAT to test and validate
the system. The system will relay civil communications in
urban and remote areas throughout the country, providing
