Satellite Internet
Inmarsat’s Broadband Global
Area Network – BGAN –
is the world’s first mobile
communications service of
any kind to provide both
voice and broadband data
simultaneously through a
single, truly portable
device on a global basis.
It is also the first
mobile communications
service 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.
Delivered via the world’s
largest and most
sophisticated communications
satellites, BGAN will
provide affordable, mobile
broadband services at speeds
up to half a megabit in a
highly portable, easy to use
form.
Journalists, military
personnel, aid workers and
other established users of
mobile satellite
communications will welcome
the superior performance and
lighter load.
But other users, such as
engineers, consultants and
sales personnel – anyone, in
fact, who wants dependable,
secure broadband access when
travelling in locations with
unreliable or no telecoms
networks – will now be able
to reap the benefits of
mobile satellite
communications.

Global coverage
BGAN will deliver seamless
network coverage across most
of the world’s land mass.
Users will be able to get
broadband wherever they go –
not just in major cities or
at the airport. BGAN is
initially accessible in
Europe, Africa, the Middle
East and Asia. Coverage will
be extended to North and
South America, expected by
mid 2006.
Simultaneous voice and
broadband data
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.
In a world-first for mobile
services, you can also
select guaranteed data rates
on demand, with a choice of
data rates to suit your
application requirements.
And to ensure bandwidth
availability, network
capacity can be re-directed
to areas of heavy usage.
Highly portable
BGAN terminals are compact,
lightweight and can be
carried as easily as a
laptop – the smallest BGAN
terminal weighs less than
one kilo. A fully functional
broadband mobile office can
be set up and shut down in
minutes.
Totally flexible
BGAN supports the latest IP
services, as well as
traditional circuit-switched
voice and data. Integrating
seamlessly with your
corporate networks, it will
support legacy applications
while providing a smooth
upgrade path to IP. There
are terminals for single
users and small teams, which
can be connected to a laptop
via a wired or wireless
connection. And the user
interface can be customised
according to your
requirements.
Planned BGAN service
coverage
The above map depict's
Inmarsat's expectations of
coverage, but does not
represent a guarantee of
service. The availability of
service at the edge of
coverage areas fluctuates
depending on various
conditions. The launch of
the F-3 satellite will be
determined in due course.
BGAN
terminals
BGAN is accessible via a
range of small, lightweight
satellite terminals, which
provide performance options
to suit different
operational needs. Terminals
can be connected quickly and
easily to a laptop, or
multiple laptops, via wired
or wireless connections,
including Bluetooth or WiFi,
depending on your choice of
terminal.
The smallest terminals
are designed to suit single
users, for whom portability
is the primary concern.
Larger terminals within the
range offer higher bandwidth
and are particularly
suitable for small teams,
who may need to establish
temporary offices for longer
periods. Terminals can be
used indoors and outdoors,
being robust enough to
withstand challenging
environments and extremes of
temperature.
Trademark reliability
Inmarsat’s name is
synonymous with reliable
communications, given our
responsibilities in
providing maritime safety
services. The network
capacity of our new
satellites is 16 times
greater than before,
delivering a massive boost
to an already highly
available network. And the
whole 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
it 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 direct to the
satellite.
Completely 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.
Delivering the global
broadband mobile office
BGAN extends the boundaries
of the broadband mobile
office that 3G services are
beginning to deliver.
Data
With the Standard IP service
you can access your
corporate network via a
secure VPN connection at
speeds up to 492kbps, to use
e-mail and other office
applications, browse the
Internet and send large file
attachments.
Streaming IP
For applications where
quality of service is
paramount, such as live
video or videoconferencing,
BGAN offers a Streaming IP
service up to 256kbps on
demand. You have the
flexibility to choose the
data rate on a caseby-case
basis, depending on your
application. BGAN also
supports ISDN.
Phone
With BGAN, you can make a
phone call at the same time
as accessing your data
applications. You can use a
standard desktop phone,
custom handset or a
Bluetooth handset/headset
depending on the BGAN
terminal. Voicemail and
other standard 3G mobile
supplementary services are
also available.
Text
BGAN enables you to send and
receive text messages via
your laptop – up to the
standard 160 characters – to
or from any mobile phone.
NERA WORLD PRO 1000
|
$2699.00 USD (FOB

Regional BGAN
offers users
high-speed internet
access with coverage
in up to 99
countries within the
satellite footprint.
This cost-effective
service is delivered
through a portable
satellite IP modem
the size of a
notebook PC, making
it ideal for
professionals on the
move.
Seamless access to
applications
Regional BGAN is
compatible with
Microsoft Windows
98, Millennium
Edition (ME), 2000,
XP, NT and Mac OS
10.1. It also
provides remote LAN
and intranet access,
and enables
dedicated, secure
links to be set up
over a virtual
private network (VPN).
It is also suitable
for FTP, instant
messaging, video
streaming,
e-commerce and
transferring or
sharing all kinds of
data files with
colleagues or
clients.
Twice the speed of
GPRS
The connectivity
offered by Regional
BGAN runs at more
than twice the speed
of current
terrestrial GPRS
mobile phone
networks. The
satellite footprint
covers more than 99
countries stretching
from western Europe
and the northern
half of Africa,
across central and
eastern Europe, the
southern CIS
countries, to the
Middle East and the
Indian
sub-continent.
Avoids the need for
a fixed line network
Regional BGAN is a
high-speed Internet
Protocol (IP) data
service providing
fast, reliable
access to the
Internet and
corporate computer
networks, even where
the local telecom
infrastructure is
either 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 1.6Kg,
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.
What's more,
connections can be
made using USB,
Ethernet or
Bluetooth
technology.
Cost-effective
packet data system
Another major
benefit of Regional
BGAN is its cost
effectiveness.
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.
Connection
compatibility
The Regional BGAN
satellite IP modem
can be connected
using USB, Ethernet
or Bluetooth
technology. The USB
interface is a
standard protocol
for many computer
peripheral devices.
Ethernet is a local
area networking
method widely used
throughout the IT
industry, and
Bluetooth is a
wireless technology
interface method
that is used with
modems, handheld
PDAs, PCs and mobile
phones.
