BGAN terminals
User interface
BGAN is accessible via a range of
small, lightweight satellite terminals,
which provide performance options
to suit different operational needs.
They can be used both indoors and
outdoors, being robust enough to
withstand challenging environments
and extremes of temperature.
The service is accessed via BGAN LaunchPad, a software
interface, which is standard across all BGAN terminals.
The smallest terminals are designed
to suit single users, for whom
portability is a key consideration.
The larger terminals offer a WLAN
capability and are particularly suitable
for small teams that need to establish
a temporary office for an extended
period. They are also suitable for
users requiring higher bandwidth
to enable applications such as
live broadcasting.
Vehicular systems comprise an
interior terminal and discreet tracking
antenna, which is mounted on the
vehicle roof. They provide access to
voice and high-speed data while ‘on
the move’.
