The DataStorm F3 1.2 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 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 new D2 controller gives the DataStorm F3 true plug-and-play capabilities with any computer or network. Currently compatible with the DirecWay platform, other new and exciting options will soon be released that will allow for much greater bandwidth options and speeds.
