NEW DPLUS PRICING
INMARSAT D-Plus service and equipment are available through PSN at
new lower prices, as low as $750 per unit. The unit includes a
transceiver, satellite antenna and GPS unit all built into one small

WEATHER INFO VIA SATELLITE
We have compiled a number of weather pages on the web to help you
quickly get the information you need via satellite. And you can do
multiple windows over satellite to save time, too. Write and ask for your
copy.
PSN MARINE/AUTO GLOBALSTAR KIT
PSN has designed a new Marine/Auto Kit MA-1000 that puts the
Globalstar auto kit in a portable box. This allows the kit to be easing
mounted and transferred between a boat, car, or truck. The new unit has
an 8-by-12 inch footprint, and all the electronics are attached to the front
panel that can be removed and inserted into a console. The small
antenna can be remoted outside for a clear view of the sky. The box also
has access holes in the front and back for power, antenna and data
cables, only $1199 without the handset or $1999 with a Globalstar
handset.

PATENT FILED
PSN has filed a patent for its Telephone Modem-to-Satellite Data
Converter. This unit allows standard telephone modem-equipped point-
of-sale transaction equipment to connect with the clearinghouse via
satellite. Now you can process credit card transaction from nearly
anywhere, even while on the move!
