Inmarsat BGAN M2M Coverage
Inmarsat’s ELERA satellite fleet, which the BGAN M2M service leverages, is made up of five satellites in geostationary orbit, with a sixth due to launch in 2023. These satellites use the L-band frequency, which is ideal for smaller data payloads, and doesn’t suffer from rain fade like, for example, Ka-Band and Ku-band frequencies do.
The coverage is global excluding the polar regions. You have to ‘point’ BGAN M2M terminals to ensure connectivity with the overhead satellite; this might mean positioning the transceiver away from buildings or forests, for example. Once connected, the signal is very stable.
BGAN M2M service is intended for unmanned locations, long deployments, and permanent installations. The hardware is designed to operate with very little power (solar power is an option) and to withstand harsh environments.
It’s an IP-based service so it’s usually very easy to implement, and its relatively (for satellite IoT!) generous data allowance means the use cases are very broad. If you’re not sure if BGAN M2M is the best service for your needs, get in touch; we’re here to help.
