Inmarsat’s Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) is the world’s first mobile communications service to provide both
voice and broadband data simultaneously through a single, truly portable device on a global basis.
It is also the first to offer guaranteed data rates on demand.
In a standard office environment, broadband access is now taken for granted. But for those whose jobs take them away to more remote locations, accessing the corporate network or the internet often means a return to slow dial-up connections, or worse still, no access at all. With Inmarsat’s BGAN service, you can set up a broadband mobile office in minutes – wherever you are on the planet.
BGAN delivers seamless network coverage across most of the world’s land mass. Users are able to get broadband wherever they go – not just in major cities or at the airport. BGAN is accessible in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, North and South America.
BGAN is designed for simplicity and ease of use. No specialist technical expertise is required to set up and use it. It’s easy to manage costs, because you can track service usage and charges in real-time. You can use the same device worldwide and the user interface is standard across all terminals. And there are never any compatibility issues with local telecoms networks, because you connect directly to the satellite.
With a single BGAN device, you can access data applications at speeds up to half a megabit and make a phone call at the same time.
Make phone calls at the same time as accessing your data applications. Voicemail and other standard 3G mobile supplementary services such as Call Forwarding, Call Barring, Call Waiting and Call Holding are also available.
For e-mail, internet and intranet access via a secure VPN connection, at speeds up to 492kbps over a shared channel.
Guaranteed data rates on demand up to 256kbps. Choose the data rate on a case by case basis, depending on your application such as live video, store & forward, videoconferencing etc.
Send and receive text messages via your laptop – up to 160 characters – to or from any mobile phone.
BGAN also supports ISDN at 64 kbps depending on BGAN terminal type.
Fax services supporting via 3.1 kHz channel depending on BGAN terminal type.
