Terminals can be designed to support transmission of NTSC, PAL, SECAM or MAC video standards, as well as IDB, IDR, SMS or SCPC digital services. Any combination of services can also be supported.

TEMPEST systems are designed for temporary or interim service applications. Conversion to permanent installation is possible with most TEMPEST configurations.

TEMPEST systems are capable of being shipped on most aircraft. Load-frame mounts make installation much easier than permanent earth stations. Most TEMPEST stations can be deployed in a few days.
