Global Coverage
BGAN is delivered via three satellites that make up the Inmarsat-4 (I-4) network. All three I-4 satellites cover all surfaces of the earth, except for extreme polar regions. It is one network meaning you can establish a broadband or voice connection wherever your job or travel takes you.

Excellent In Stormy Weather: All BGAN terminales are using the L-band for reception and transmission (the L-band has a very long wavelength), it is able penetrate through clouds and other atmospheric condition far better than large satellite dishes.

Find your location on this map, you can approximate the compass heading and how many degrees up from the horizon one of the Inmarsat satellites will be.

Inmarsat-4 F1 I-4 Asia-Pacific 143.5 east longitude
Inmarsat-4 F2 I-4 Europe, Middle-East, Africa 25 east longitude
Inmarsat-4 F3 I-4 Americas 98 west longitude

A new, guaranteed streaming data enhancement to BGAN services at a minimum data rate of 384 kbps, up to 450 kbps. This improvement is available for all BGAN Class 1 terminals from HNS and Thrane & Thrane, without additional hardware costs.

You can deliver even higher quality video back to the studio when broadcasting remotely. There is no need for an external antenna or any additional hardware, just use your existing BGAN X-Stream enabled terminal.

Our Customers & Partners will benefit from an improved quality and performance of top streaming video and high speed data. Specially designed for end-users in the media and government segments where guaranteed high-speed bandwidth is critical, our users can now benefit from improved BGAN performance from remote locations. BGAN X-Stream is commercially available globally now.

BGAN TCP Accelerator

Optimized your BGAN experience using the TCP Accelerator from Inmarsat. Send faster emails and data files via BGAN using the Inmarsat-developed TCP Accelerator software. The TCP Accelerator for BGAN is available for Windows 7, Vista, XP and Mac OSX for PowerPCs and IntelMac hardware. It is installed on a BGAN user's PC and significantly enhances the performance of TCP traffic over BGAN in the 'send' direction.We'll send the TCP Accelerator, manual & give live support to all our BGAN and FleetBroadband customers.

We offer several ways to control security over your BGAN network connection:
1. Firewall Controls, custom made for each BGAN account.
2. IPSec VPN over the Internet from HQ to the Inmarsat NOC.
3. Private BGAN Network via a leased line from HQ to the Inmarsat NOC.
4. ISDN Private line, an alternative to leased line private networking.

BGAN Firewall Controls

Firewall rules can be set up in minutes to limit what a BGAN terminal communicates with on the Internet. Unwanted traffic from any connect computer (such as Windows Update) is blocked from transmitting over the satellite network, as well as blocking malicious traffic from the Internet. Firewall rules can save you thousands of dollars in service costs. Comprehensive whitelists and blacklists can be created for individual BGAN accounts.

BGAN Firewall

• Control traffic between the BGAN terminal and the Internet
• BGAN Firewall Rules is a Free Service offered to all our BGAN subscribers

We offer BGAN Firewall Traffic Controls that sit between the satellite network and the Internet. Simply send us a list the IP addresses that a BGAN terminal is allowed to communicate with (whitelist) and deny all other traffic. This simple yet effective control slashes unauthorized BGAN usage, and protects the BGAN terminal from malicious incoming traffic. Now, outgoing traffic from background applications such as Windows update (which may transfer over 300 Megabytes), is blocked when any laptop is connected over the BGAN network. Unexpected and unwanted charges to the BGAN service are eliminated.
At your request, we will apply custom rules to each of your BGAN terminal or Sim Card. Just let us know what IP addresses or domain names you wish to limit traffic through.

Creating BGAN Traffic Rules
Traffic rules would be created for each individual BGAN Sim Card.
Multiple rules may establish complete whitelists or blacklists. A typical whitelist is that allows limited traffic FROM the Internet TO the BGAN terminal. Whitelists are a common rule since they limit traffic ONLY between certain IP addresses, such as between a remote BGAN terminal IP address and a corporate server IP address.

There are 4 possible traffic types that can be configured:

• Whitelist to allow listed IP traffic from the Internet to the BGAN terminal
• Whitelist to allow listed IP traffic from the BGAN terminal to the Internet
• Blacklist to deny listed IP traffic from the Internet to the BGAN terminal
• Blacklist to deny listed IP traffic from the BGAN terminal to the Internet

VPN INTERCONNECT

Our BGAN VPN solution functions by means of a secure interconnection between your central network hub and your mobile Inmarsat BGAN or Fleetbroadband terminal. There are two benefits to this scenario

• since the VPN terminates at the NOC, speeds will not see a performance drop over the satellite network, which is a common problem with VPN over satellite
• there is no need to configure individual remote equipment with VPN equipment or software since the VPN terminates at the NOC. All BGAN traffic is routed at the NOC through the VPN portal to your HQ.

A Private BGAN Network
We can establish a leased line or MPLS connection from the NOC to your HQ. In the latter case, we can save you the hassle of arranging international connections. Any solution can be discussed, and applications are integrated by our engineering team, to ensure that if you are developing a worldwide network, we will offer you the best and most cost effective solution.
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a mechanism in high-performance telecommunications networks that directs data from one network node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding complex lookups in a routing table. The labels identify virtual links (paths) between distant nodes rather than endpoints. MPLS can encapsulate packets of various network protocols. MPLS supports a range of access technologies, including T1/E1, ATM, Frame Relay, and DSL.
