MCHI Mobile Communications Holdings, Inc. (MCHI) offers Ellipso, an
affordable satellite-based voice and data communications system. The Ellipso
system will use 17 satellites in elliptical-medium and low earth orbits
to provide voice and data communications services for mobile and fixed-site
users world-wide. Ellipso's unique design gives it the service advantage
over its competitors. The elliptical orbits provide high line-of-sight
angles to satellites, eliminating service interruptions normally associated
with ground obstacles in other mobile systems.
