More Information on BGAN Service

Total Broadband Freedom
BGAN is short for Broadband Global Area Network, and if you can see the sky, you can connect to the Internet at broadband speeds. There are no cellular dead-zones, or disaster service outages, making BGAN systems ideal for many professionals and industries. First responders, remote exploration, world travel, backup connectivity... the list is endless. Watch how easy it is to point the new Hughes 9202 and establish a high speed Internet connection. A standard phone may also plug into a BGAN to make or receive calls from anyone on the planet. Total Freedom.


How To Point and Use a BGAN Terminal

A Mobile Office - Internet, Phone and Fax
All BGAN terminals may be used for excellent voice calling. Two phone numbers (phone & fax) are issued to each BGAN Sim Card, and more than one Sim Card can be owned. BGAN voice calling is superior to handheld satellite phones because the antenna is much larger, and unlike satellite phones that connect with many moving satellites, BGAN connects to a single stationary satellite. Call drops are avoided, and call quality is amazingly good. BGAN terminals do not require an external power source for idle operation with an average of 36 hours per charged battery. These systems are field proven and have been invaluable communications tools to thousands of professionals and organizations worldwide.
