Regional B-GAN

The New Inmarsat Regional Broadband Global Area Network (Regional BGAN) service provides a fast, efficient connection, allowing you to download 50K files, e-mail or attachments in about 10 seconds.

Advanced spot-beam technology allows Inmarsat to maintain a footprint stretching across 99 countries from Western Europe and the northern half of Africa, across central and Eastern Europe, the southern CIS countries, to the Middle East and the Indian sub-continent.

The maximum bandwidth within each spot-beam is 144kbit/s. But because Regional BGAN is a packet data network, the average bandwidth available is shared among several connected users if they transmit data at the same time.

The Regional BGAN system allocates this capacity where needed - invisibly to the end-user. Based on Inmarsat's forecast of traffic and capacity, over a three-minute period it is estimated users will consistently experience transfer rates equivalent to more than double those offered by current terrestrial GPRS services.

Product Specification		 This cost-effective service is delivered through a portable satellite IP modem the size of a notebook PC.

Regional BGAN is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98, Millennium Edition (ME), 2000, XP, NT and Mac OS 10.1. It also provides remote LAN and intranet access, and enables dedicated, secure links to be set up over a virtual private network (VPN).
It is also suitable for FTP, instant messaging, video streaming, e-commerce and transferring or sharing all kinds of data files with colleagues or clients.

Another major benefit of Regional BGAN is its cost effectiveness. Connection to the Internet or a private network can be kept 'always on', and you only pay for the amount of data you send or receive, rather than the time spent online - making it an extremely effective business tool.
The Regional BGAN satellite IP modem can be connected using USB, Ethernet or Bluetooth technology. The USB interface is a standard protocol for many computer peripheral devices. Ethernet is a local area networking method widely used throughout the IT industry, and Bluetooth is a wireless technology interface method that is used with modems, handheld PDAs, PCs and mobile phones.
