BGAN M2M Simple Coverage Map

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.

Why buy your BGAN M2M airtime from Ground Control?

We make your choice easy by offering you the best price available to us - you're unlikely to find a lower price elsewhere.

Next-Generation Device Management

We build, and continue to invest in innovative services designed to make our customers' lives easier. With Cloudloop you can track, monitor and control your BGAN M2M terminals from a secure, intuitive, web interface. It is an API-first platform, delivering low latency APIs for message consumption.

Tailored, Competitive Airtime Plans

Regular Usage Reviews

If you're not sure how much data your device will use, you may well end up either paying costly overage fees or buying airtime that ends up unused. But at Ground Control, your account manager will proactively check to make sure you're on the best plan for your current usage.

A Wide Choice of Devices

You don't have to buy your BGAN M2M terminal from Ground Control to become an airtime customer, but if you choose to do so, you'll find a wide choice of devices from leading manufacturers including Cobham and Hughes, with whom we've partnered for many years.
