MCG-101 Introduction

The MCG-101 was designed to provide the most powerful and versatile Iridium communications system to offices, remote locations, aircraft, and maritime. The system provides an intelligent solution for Iridium satellite phones to operate as a telephone, Internet gateway, intelligent GPS device, send/receive SMS, and attach to other devices through RS232 and Ethernet. The MCG-101 was designed using 100% digital technology. This enables the system to provide clear, true-to-life audio and eliminates any internal echo problems. For external interface portions of the system, such as an analog POTS telephone, echo cancellation is performed by a hardware echo canceler.

Overall, the MCG-101 is the ultimate Iridium telecommunications system available to fulfill the needs and demands of today’s business, marine, and military needs.
