Easy to Use
Aiming the terminals and connecting to the Internet is simple and can take 1-3 minutes depending on the operator's skill. BGAN terminals communicate with either of two geostationary satellites giving it global coverage. Battery life is 36 hours on idle usage and are easily charged with most countries' 110V or 220V wall current (with universal power kit). The systems can also be powered by an automotive 12V or 24V vehicle battery with the optional DC vehicle port adapter.
