BGAN fits the increasing mobility demands
Companies are increasingly required to support staff that work away from the
office. The use of small affordable laptops, PDA’s and mobile phones
has made mobile access to the office a key success factor for enterprises.
Having access to corporate data and email anytime and anywhere is nowadays
a key strategic asset. With BGAN this asset can now be exploited wherever
you are on the globe!
High performance, competitive pricing and total portability mean that BGAN
is well suited for all forms of everyday business, and not just for extreme
locations. A much broader range of users than before can now enjoy the benefits
of mobile satellite communications. Essentially delivering broadband globally,
BGAN provides all the vital services you have in your office. Never worry anymore
about Internet cafes and calling cards to keep business going. With BGAN you
have a 3G mobile broadband satellite solution in your pocket!
The BGAN service is accessed via a small, lightweight satellite terminal that
can be quickly and easily connected to your laptop PC and voice handset. A
range of terminals is available, providing performance options to suit different
operational needs. The smallest terminals are designed to suit single users
whose primary concern is portability. Larger terminals offer higher bandwidth
and are particularly suited to small teams that may need to establish temporary
offices for longer periods. All terminals are robust and able to withstand
challenging environments and extremes of temperature.
