BGAN

BGAN SatelliteTerminals (Broadband Global Area Network)
Inmarsat’s BGAN service offers reliable global* voice and data connectivity at broadband speeds. Three geostationary satellites provide coverage to support the entire BGAN network.

BGAN satellite terminals are available for portable, vehicular, fixed-based, and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. These portable units are the size of a standard lap top and in most instances the terminal is connected to a personal computer. Compact, slimline BGAN equipment are manufactured by Thrane & Thrane (Explorer Series), Hughes Network, and Addvalue (wideye).

Veratile BGAN terminals can be configured for a single user or multi-users via a router. Access the Internet, check email or any other activity typically done online via a traditional internet connection including simultaneous data, voice and video. A “line of sight” is required between the BGAN terminal and the satellite.
