Introducing Inmarsat

Inmarsat - Regional BGAN

Mobile Satellite Data Transfer at up to three times the speed of GPRS.

Network coverage in 99 countries, with global service planned from 2005.

Packet data service, with usage charges for amount of data transferred, not time spent online.

Usage costs up to 40% cheaper than GPRS roaming.

RBGAN RBGAN offers users high-speed internet access with coverage in up to 99 countries within the satellite footprint. This cost-effective service is delivered through a portable satellite IP modem the size of a notebook PC, making it ideal for professionals on the move.

RBGAN 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.

The connectivity offered by RBGAN runs at more than twice the speed of current terrestrial GPRS mobile phone networks. The satellite footprints cover the South American Continent, Europe and Africa, across eastern Europe, most of Russia, the southern CIS countries, to the Middle East and Eastern and South Eastern Asia, and western Australia. (Please note that there will be no Regional BGAN service in the USA and Canada)

RBGAN is a high-speed Internet Protocol (IP) data service providing fast, reliable access to the Internet and corporate computer networks, even where the local telecom infrastructure is either poor, non-existent or expensive.

The service is based around a lightweight satellite IP modem the size of a notebook PC. Weighing only 1.6Kg, the modem is fully portable and easy to use when and where you need it. The modem can be used with a single PC or connected to a local area network (LAN) through which it can be accessed by multiple devices. What's more, connections can be made using USB, Ethernet or Bluetooth technology.

Another major benefit of RBGAN 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.

Please note that satellite telephones require a direct line of sight from the antenna to the satellite.
Therefore, phones do not work inside buildings or vehicles unless used with an external antenna. Service in outdoor locations with trees, hills, mountains, buildings or other similar structures or geographical features may impair or prevent the use of satellite communication equipment.
Please note that text messaging service on satellite phones may not be possible to terrestrial mobile phones
