Inmarsat R-BGAN High-Speed Mobile Satellite
|
Regional BGAN service from Inmarsat offers mobile users high-speed internet
access with coverage in over 100 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.
This unique service is delivered through a portable satellite IP modem the size of a
notebook computer, making it ideal for professionals on the move and in remote areas.
COMPATIBILITY AND APPLICATIONS
Regional BGAN (R-BGAN) is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh computers and supports all
major internet applications for both individual and corporate users:
- E-mail
- Web browsing
- Instant Messaging
- Video, audio and text streaming
- Fax over IP
- Secure Access
- VPN (Intranet, drive access, database synchronization)
- SSL (Online transactions, basic secure access)

FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
Twice the speed of GPRS: The connectivity offered by R-BGAN
(up to 144 Kbps) runs at more than twice the speed of current terrestrial GPRS mobile phone networks.
Avoids the need for a fixed line network: R-BGAN provides fast and reliable access to the Internet and
corporate computer networks, even where the local telecom infrastructure is
poor, non-existent or expensive.
Easy to set up: The service is based around a lightweight satellite IP modem the size of
a notebook PC. Weighing only 1.6 kg, the modem is fully portable and easy to use
when and where you need it. The modem can be used with a single PC or connected to a
local area network (LAN) through which it can be accessed by multiple devices.
Cost-effective packet data system: Connection to the Internet or a private network can be
kept 'always on', and you only pay for the amount of data you send or receive, rather than the time spent online - making it an extremely effective business tool.
Convenient Connection Methods: The R-BGAN IP modem can be connected using USB, Ethernet or Bluetooth technology.
