Meet the RV DataSat 840 and Intra-Sat Service
If you love going off the beaten path but need reliable, fast connectivity, the RV DataSat840 is the answer. This is a fully automatic, rooftop mounted satellite antenna system for RVs that includes a one-touch controller, .84-meter dish for increased signal strength, iDirect Evolution X5 satellite modem and six-watt transmitter.
The DataSat 840 delivers a solid four mbps of data for fast downloads, taking mobile satellite Internet for RVers far beyond the notoriously slow speeds of previous consumer models. Here’s what most RVers will find extra appealing about this new Insta-Sat on-demand consumer broadband satellite Internet connectivity designed by Mobile Satellite Technologies:
- No monthly fee
- No contract
- No term commitments.
After an initial investment for the $5995 hardware plus installation charges, users of the DataSat 840 only pay for the bandwidth they need, when they need it. The user simply pushes a button to deploy the antenna and open a browser, then uses a credit card to buy the service plan they need. According to Mobil Satellite Technologies, the antenna can connect to the web portal any time that the antenna is deployed, whether there is a current service plan in place or not.
Development of the new Intra-Sat system means that RVers can literally travel anywhere without being tied to cell towers for Internet connectivity or being locked into a monthly service contract. Users of the DataSat 840 can simply buy a plan on demand when it’s needed and use up the bandwidth within the allotted time frame.
No Daily FAP Limit
Another added bonus that makes the DataSat 840 light years ahead of its predecessors is there is no daily FAP (Fair Access Policy) limit. Use as much broadband as you need, until your plan runs out. If the plan allotment is exceed, it’s as easy as buying another plan or just switching to cell tower broadband Internet.
