What is it?

If your job takes you away from the office - even off the beaten track - BGAN can help you stay as productive as if you were back at base. Choose from a range of devices, for personal use or to network a team. Inmarsat’s Broadband Global Area Network service – BGAN – is the world’s first mobile communications service to provide both voice and broadband data simultaneously through a single, highly compact device on a global basis. It is also the first to offer guaranteed data rates on demand.

Why do you need it?

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 most advanced commercial communications satellites ever launched, BGAN provides affordable, mobile broadband services at speeds up to half a megabit in a highly compact, easy to use form. Journalists, government personnel, aid workers and other established users of mobile satellite communications welcome the superior performance and lighter load of BGAN.
But other users, such as engineers, consultants and project managers – anyone, in fact, who wants dependable, secure broadband access when working in locations with unreliable or no telecoms networks – can now reap the benefits of affordable mobile satellite communications.
