The McQ CONNECT® is a compact and powerful satellite hotspot designed to deliver global data and voice connectivity wherever your mission takes you. Whether supporting communications for unmanned systems, industrial monitoring, or remote field operations, McQ CONNECT® ensures you’re never out of reach.
This lightweight, rugged modem operates over the Iridium Certus® 100 platform, providing reliable connectivity for IP-based communications in even the most disconnected regions. McQ CONNECT® supports email, secure chat, encrypted file transfer, compressed video/audio streaming, telemetry, and M2M sensor data—making it ideal for defense, maritime, aviation, and field research applications.
Designed for maximum versatility, the McQ CONNECT® satellite hotspot adapts to the demands of any mission. Its compact form factor allows it to be hand-carried into the field for rapid deployment, giving operators instant access to global voice and data communications. For persistent operations, CONNECT can be installed at remote fixed sites to provide a secure, always-on communications hub, or it can be mounted discreetly on manned and unmanned platforms—from vehicles and vessels to UAVs and autonomous systems—ensuring seamless integration across diverse mission profiles.
Engineered to perform in the harshest environments, the system is fully waterproof, shock-resistant, and ruggedized against extreme temperatures, vibration, and weather conditions. Its design prioritizes mobility, survivability, and mission endurance, enabling long-term reliability in contested, disconnected, and austere regions where conventional networks fail. Whether carried by a single operator or embedded in a larger platform, McQ CONNECT® ensures that critical communications remain secure and uninterrupted anywhere in the world.
Whether you’re deploying unmanned surveillance systems or managing industrial infrastructure in isolated regions, CONNECT provides the secure, satellite hotspot solution you need for global data and voice connectivity—no matter where the mission leads.
