Access Internet & Make Phone Calls Simultaneously with Satellite BGAN

Nowadays there is no excuse for not being able to communicate by phone, e-mail, or the Internet. Even in the most remote areas of the world there are tools that allow you to connect. Inmarsat's BGAN units are some of those tools, and great choices too.

Short for Broadband Global Area Network, BGAN allows you to access data at broadband speeds while making phone calls at the same time.

Example industries that use BGAN units are the news media, oil & gas, construction, mining, relief aid, and governments. Even though all of these organizations deploy teams in remote locations, they are still able to communicate back to base by phone broadband Internet.

BGAN units come in terminals or units that can be affixed to your vehicle. Depending on the unit you can get shared data speeds up to 492 kbps and steaming data speeds up to 256 kbps.

BGAN standard terminals are extremely mobile, about the size of a laptop, and relatively light weight. They include: Wideye's Sabre1 and Hughes' HNS 9201, Thrane & Thrane's Explorer family (110, 300, 500, and 700).

There are also two units that you can affix to your vehicle. Those include the Thrane & Thrane Explorer 527 and Hughes HNS 9250.

So just because your upcoming business or leisure trip is in a remote location, you will be able to connect. Check out BGANs.
