BGAN

BGAN stands for Broadband Global Area Network. It is a global satellite internet network that provides voice and high-speed data services to users anywhere in the world. BGAN is operated by Inmarsat and utilizes a constellation of geostationary satellites to provide coverage. It offers a reliable and mobile broadband solution for remote areas, disaster zones, and for individuals and organizations who require connectivity outside of traditional terrestrial networks.

The service is accessible through a range of portable terminals that are easy to set up and use. These terminals connect to the Inmarsat satellite network, allowing users to access the internet, make phone calls, and send faxes. BGAN offers various service levels, including standard IP data which is always-on and billed based on usage, and streaming IP for guaranteed bandwidth applications like live video broadcasting. The network is designed to be resilient and is often employed during emergencies and humanitarian efforts where terrestrial infrastructure may be damaged or unavailable. BGAN terminals can operate in diverse environmental conditions, making them a robust choice for global communication needs.
