Addressing the evolving demands of our increasingly fast-paced,
on-the-go, global world, Stratos introduces Broadband Global
Area Network (BGAN) – a new mobile satellite service providing simultaneous high-speed data (up to 492 kbps) and voice connectivity that goes wherever life and business take you throughout the world.

BGAN Service Benefits:
BGAN offers significantly expanded bandwidth and capabilities, as compared to current-generation mobile satellite services.
Among the unique benefits that BGAN offers are:
Higher Speed Data: Leveraging the increased power of Inmarsat’s new I-4 satellites, BGAN offers high-speed data connections at speeds up to 492 kbps, significantly faster than any other current generation mobile satellite service.
Streaming Data: This new QoS IP data option, available on all BGAN terminals, provides a guaranteed data throughput up to 256 kbps. This is a significant benefit for customers who need guaranteed,
uninterrupted throughput, without contended service degradation.
Simultaneous Voice Service: BGAN offers a low-speed 4.8 kbps voice service, providing a toll-quality connection and bringing customers the added benefit of voice in the field. In addition, both voice and
data services can operate simultaneously on a single BGAN terminal, making the system flexible to a degree that is unprecedented in mobile satellite communications.
BGAN Launch Pad: The new BGAN Launch Pad is a revolution in satellite software usability, providing a standard user interface across all BGAN terminals. The Launch Pad enables users to control their connection type, access utilities, and provides quick setup instructions for the terminal, including step-by-step pointing information.
BGAN Applications:
BGAN is attractive to customers across a wide variety of markets who require on-the-go remote voice and high-speed data communications in areas outside the reach of traditional networks, such as:
Media: Journalists need to travel light but they also need the capability to break big stories from remote locations. BGAN provides the answer. With streaming data capability up to 256 kbps, be the first with breaking news, and keep one step ahead of the competition.
Government and Military: Government entities and NGOs require the ability to send and receive vital information from the field, especially when they are operating in dangerous and highly volatile locations.
In cases where information flow is critical, this is not just a matter of efficiency or convenience, it can mean the difference between success or disaster. Reliable access to e-mail, the Internet and the corporate LAN is critical when time is of the essence.
Finance: Banks and other financial institutions operating in countries where the existing communications infrastructure is unreliable are in a precarious position. Using BGAN as a 99-percent reliable backup solution to terrestrial systems provides peace of mind and the confidence that data will not be interrupted or delayed, and opportunities for fraud and abuse will be lessened.
Oil and Energy: The first step in undertaking a large-scale exploration program or other project is the initial onsite evaluation. With BGAN, basic data can be sent and received between the remote site and headquarters,
BGAN Benefits andKey Features:
• High-speed wireless IP data and circuit-switched network
• A range of small, light-weight terminals
• Shared capacity IP data rates up to 492 kbps
• Streaming IP data rates up to 256 kbps
• Familiar GAN-standard 64 kbps ISDN and toll-quality circuitswitched voice
• Support for supplementary services, e.g., call hold, call waiting, call forwarding, SMS and voicemail
• Optional external antenna
• Multi-user, remote-office capabilities
• Simultaneous voice and data traffic
• Optional guaranteed bandwidth
• Support for legacy applications and a platform for new IP-based solutions
Using a lightweight satellite terminal, about the size of a laptop PC, BGAN enables users to access e-mail, corporate networks and the Internet, transfer files and make telephone calls, from almost anywhere
– including where traditional technologies don’t reach. BGAN operates using a new generation of the most advanced communications satellites ever launched. These three Inmarsat I-4 satellites have 16 times the power and capacity of the current Inmarsat I-3 satellite constellation, providing significantly enhanced performance and capability for users. analyzed and evaluated, saving both time and great expense. BGAN also offers a fixed-site antenna option – perfect for longer term projects.
BGAN is also ideal for a range of other applications, such as long distance learning and data gathering for university research and education; in agriculture for monitoring crops and livestock or ordering supplies, and in tourism where BGAN enables travelers to share pictures with loved ones, and where the safety and security
of clients is paramount.
