Inmarsat BGAN

Broadband Global Area Network

Redefining remote

Inmarsat’s Broadband Global Area Network service – BGAN – is the world’s first mobile communications service to provide both voice and broadband data simultaneously through a single, highly compact device on a global basis. It is also the first to offer guaranteed data rates on demand.

In a standard office environment, broadband access is now taken for granted.

But for those whose jobs take them away to more remote locations, accessing the corporate network or the internet often means a return to slow dial-up connections, or worse still, no access at all.

With Inmarsat’s BGAN service, you can set up a broadband mobile office in minutes – wherever you are on the planet.

Delivered via the most advanced commercial communications satellites ever launched, BGAN provides affordable, mobile broadband services at speeds up to half a megabit in a highly compact, easy to use form.
