Inmarsat's Broadband Global Area Network - BGAN - is the world's first mobile communications service of any kind to provide both voice and broadband data simultaneously through a single, truly portable device on a global basis.
Global coverage
BGAN delivers seamless network coverage across most of the world's land mass. You will be able to get broadband wherever you go - not just in major cities or at the airport. BGAN is initially accessible in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Coverage will be extended to North and South America, expected by mid 2006.
Simultaneous voice and broadband data
With a single BGAN device, you can access data applications at speeds up to half a megabit and make a phone call at the same time. In a world-first for mobile services, you can also select guaranteed data rates on demand, with a choice of data rates to suit your application requirements and to ensure bandwidth availability, network capacity can be re-directed to areas of heavy usage.
Highly portable
BGAN terminals are compact, lightweight and can be carried as easily as a laptop - the smallest BGAN terminal weighs less than one kilo. A fully functional broadband mobile office can be set up and shut down in minutes. |
