Inmarsat BGAN
Inmarsat BGAN is the first mobile satellite service to deliver broadband data and voice simultaneously through one device, to almost anywhere on the planet.
With the successful Inmarsat satellite launches, global satellite coverage is now possible. Coverage now extends almost globaly.
Based on IP technology, BGAN delivers data rates of up to 492 Kbps. The service is accessed via a small, lightweight satellite terminal.
BGAN enables users to remotely access corporate networks using a secure VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection, to send emails, transfer files and access the internet, whilst making a telephone call at the same time.
Who is BGAN for?
BGAN is for anyone who needs to take their office with them on travel to beyond the comfort zone of reliable modern telecoms.
It is for users who need access to key services such as voice, email and Internet, wherever they go – especially where terrestrial networks are poor or non-existent.
Offering global, high-speed voice and broadband data, BGAN is set to be the breakthrough service that takes mobile satellite communications to a new level of performance, usability and geographical reach.
Inmarsat BGAN Terminals
The fastest of the BGAN terminals, the HNS 9201 allows you to simultaneously send and receive IP packet and circuit switched data via USB, Ethernet, ISDN and WLAN interfaces over the Inmarsat BGAN satellite network.
The rugged design of the 9201 allows the terminal to be installed outside in extreme weather conditions for extended periods of time. Multiple user support allows your entire team to share a single 9201 simultaneously, providing the site with a broadband local area network.
The terminal’s small size and weight allows you to easily move it from site to site and be connected again within minutes. When you’re at a remote site, sending and receiving the information you need is critical, the 9201 offers a true alternative network that enables corporate teams to communicate their critical information – anywhere, anytime.
