Inmarsat BGAN M2M – Regional

What is a BGAN system?
A: BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) is a global satellite network system that provides high-speed broadband connectivity for voice and data communications in remote and challenging locations. It is a portable and reliable communication solution that can be used for voice calling, messaging, video streaming, and internet browsing.

What is the difference between BGAN and VSAT?
A: The main difference between BGAN and VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) is the size of the satellite equipment used. BGAN terminals are smaller and more portable, making them ideal for mobile and remote applications. VSAT terminals, on the other hand, are larger and more stationary, designed for fixed installations and larger data requirements.

What satellite does BGAN use?
A: BGAN uses the Inmarsat satellite network to provide global coverage. Inmarsat operates a fleet of geostationary satellites that are positioned over the equator and cover most of the globe, including remote and inaccessible areas.

What are the different types of Inmarsat?
A: Inmarsat operates four different types of satellite networks:

L-band satellites (Inmarsat A, B, C, and Mini-M)
High-Throughput Satellites (HTS)
Ka-band satellites (Global Xpress)
Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS)
What frequency range does BGAN use?
A: BGAN uses L-band frequency range of 1.6 GHz to 2.4 GHz for communication with the Inmarsat satellites.

What is the frequency range of Inmarsat?
A: Inmarsat uses L-band frequency range of 1.5 GHz to 1.6 GHz and 1.6 GHz to 1.7 GHz for its communication services.

What is the frequency of Inmarsat?
A: Inmarsat uses various frequencies for its different satellite networks. For example, the Inmarsat BGAN network uses frequencies in the L-band range of 1.6 GHz to 2.4 GHz.

What are the 4 frequencies for Inmarsat?
A: Inmarsat operates on four different frequency bands for its various satellite networks:

L-band (1.5 GHz to 1.7 GHz)
C-band (5.0 GHz to 6.4 GHz)
Ka-band (20 GHz to 30 GHz)
Ku-band (12 GHz to 18 GHz)
What is Inmarsat data speed?
A: Inmarsat data speed varies depending on the satellite network and the service plan selected. For example, Inmarsat BGAN offers data speeds of up to 492 kbps for standard IP and up to 128 kbps for streaming IP.

What is the range of satellite?
A: The range of a satellite depends on its orbit and altitude. Geostationary satellites used by Inmarsat are positioned over the equator at an altitude of approximately 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) and have a range of coverage that extends approximately 70 degrees north and south of the equator.
