MSS – Definition and Pronunciation
What is MSS?
MSS is a satellite service intended to provide wireless communication to any point on the globe.
Examples of MSS
Traditionally, MSS applications have used lower frequencies such as L-band and S-band; however, in order to support higher link capacities, MSS applications are now moving to higher frequencies, where additional spectrum bandwidth is available.

With a projected (combined) CAGR of around 7 % over the next few years, the number of maritime terminals is estimated to reach 650 000 by 2022-MSS terminals are still expected to account for the large majority (95 %) of terminal deployment over the next few years, and the population should grow from around 375 000 terminals in 2014 to around 619 000 terminals by 2022 (with VSATs growing from 12 500 to 31 000).

As noted, the M2M satellite applications to date have gravitated to MSS services and to the L-band [some also call these satellite applications as LDR (Low Data Rate) applications].
