Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network

Data and voice services via satellite available worldwide

Inmarsat operates the I-4 satellite system in geostationary orbit which footprint covers the entire earth except the extreme Polar Regions. BGAN services are delivered via the Inmarsat-4 network, with 99.9 per cent satellite and ground network availability and an operational lifespan expected into the 2020s. The BGAN service provides simultaneous voice and broadband data communications globally from small and lightweight satellite terminals. The data speeds are up to 492 kbps in shared mode and dedicated +580 kbps in streaming mode. Streaming IP is an on demand IP quality of service which can be used for life video solutions like video conferences or broadcasting.

BGAN is accessible via a range of small, lightweight satellite terminals, which provide performance options to suit different operational needs. BGAN terminals can be used on land at sea or in flight by single or multiple users.

Several technologies like IP, ISDN, and standard voice can be used with such a terminal. Depending on the terminal they are equipped with ports for analog voice, ISDN, Ethernet, USB and have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

To use service like telephone, fax, data transfer, internet access, picture transmissions, video conferences, remote access etc. become a standard even at remote places. No technical expertise or training is needed to set up and use BGAN. All terminals are plug and play, so you can go online within minutes.
