The DataStorm F2 .98 meter mobile internet satellite system is the first true two-way system approved by DirecWay and the FCC. Designed to automatically acquire the internet satellite in the sky, the DataStorm F2 uses motors, gears, and a GPS system to adapt to the mobile environment. It's unique fold-down design [12" when stowed] lets most vehicles become a stable platform for installation. The D series DataStorm controllers give the DataStorm F2 true plug-and-play capabilities with any computer or network. Currently compatible with the DiRECWAY, iDirect, and UNASAT platforms, the F2 can adapt to practically any satellite platform and environment.

The DataStorm F3 1.2 meter mobile internet satellite system was the first true two-way system approved by DirecWay and the FCC. Designed to automatically acquire the internet satellite in the sky, the DataStorm F3 uses motors, gears, and a GPS system to adapt to the mobile environment. It's unique fold-down design [12" when stowed] lets most vehicles become a stable platform for installation. The F3 is no longer manufactured by MotoSAT but we still support it and as a certified installer you may be asked to provide onsite support for one of these units.
