Enabling Global coverage Video streaming.
Inmarsat’s Broadband Global Area Network service – BGAN – is the world’s first mobile communications service to enable both voice, video and broadband data simultaneously through a single, truly portable 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. Journalists, military personnel, aid workers and other established users of mobile satellite communications welcome the superior performance and lighter load of BGAN. But other users, such as engineers, consultants and project managers – anyone, in fact, who wants dependable, secure broadband access when working in locations with unreliable or no telecomsnetworks – can now reap the benefits of mobile satellite communications
