WHY BGAN?

The BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) service from Inmarsat is the world's first voice and broadband data mobile communications service accessible anywhere on Earth. Delivered via a highly portable, easy to use device, it is also the first mobile service to offer guaranteed data rates on demand.

BGAN's superior performance, portability and ease of use make it a compelling proposition for professionals in many industries requiring travel: journalists, military personnel, aid workers, civil engineers, consultants, project managers and sales executives.

Global coverage

BGAN delivers seamless network coverage across most of the world's landmass. Users are able to get broadband wherever they go, not just in major cities or airports. BGAN is currently accessible in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, North and South America.

Simultaneous voice and broadband data

With a single BGAN device, you can access data applications at broadband speeds and make phone calls at the same time. In a world-first for mobile services, you can also select guaranteed data rates on demand, with a choice of rates to suit your application requirements.

Portable

BGAN terminals are compact, lightweight and designed to be carried as easily as a laptop. The smallest BGAN terminal weighs less than 1 kg (~2 lbs). A fully functional broadband mobile office can be set up or shut down in minutes.

Flexible

BGAN supports the latest IP services, as well as traditional circuit-switched voice and data. There are terminals for single users and small teams, which can be connected to a laptop PC via a wired or wireless connection. For added flexibility, the BGAN LaunchPad software can be customized to your requirements.

Reliable

Inmarsat's name is synonymous with reliable communications, built on our proven track record in the provision of maritime safety services. The network capacity of our new Inmarsat-4 satellites is 16 times greater than our previous generation of satellites, delivering a massive boost to an already highly available network. In addition, the entire system is backed by 24/7 customer support from our Partner organizations.

Easy to use

BGAN is designed for simplicity and ease of use. No specialist technical expertise is required to set up or use the service. It's also easy to manage costs, because users can track service usage and charges in real-time. The same device can be used worldwide and the user interface is standard across all terminals.

Secure

Inmarsat has vast experience in providing secure communications to military and government customers. BGAN meets these exacting requirements and supports all major VPN products and encryption standards.
