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 launch of the first and second Inmarsat-4 satellites, global satellite coverage is growing ever closer, with coverage now extended to Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent, most of Asia Pacific and Western Australia and the Americas. The two I-4 satellites cover 85% of the world's land mass.

Based on IP technology, BGAN delivers data rates of up to 492 Kbps. The service is accessed via a small, lightweight satellite terminal - about the size of a laptop - which is easy to carry, quick to set up and simple to use. You have SMS, Voicemail and ISDN capabilities

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.
