BGAN's inherent flexibility makes it a practical solution in a varied and growing number of sectors - as well as for multiple operational roles within individual industries.

Established users of mobile satellite communications, such as journalists, military personnel and aid workers, can enjoy BGAN's superior performance and portability.

And so, too, can many expected new users, including consultants, sales executives, project managers and reserarchers, to name just a few.

In fact, anyone who needs reliable, secure broadband access when travelling or working in locations where the local telecoms networks are either poor or non-existent, can reap the benefits of mobile satellite communication with BGAN.

Key sectors for BGAN services:

Highly mobile and secure communications keep operational teams in touch over last tactical mile

Government customers in the military sector require time-critical communications with an exceptional level of availability, security and reliablility.

The significant increase in network capacity that the new Inmarsat-4 satellites deliver ensures that BGAN meets these exacting requirements, while also offering greater speed, portability and versatility thanks to the combination of voice and broadband data in a single device.

So, however remote the location, BGAN ensures your teams stay up to date and operate efficiently and effectively.

Combinig higher bandwidth and increased portability - wherever you are on the planet

Media companies all over the world already use Inmarsat mobile satellite services to file their reports from disaster-hit areas, war zones, sports events and remote regions.

BGAN's vastly improved performance - in terms of network speed and availability - combined with its increased portability and ease of use - enables journalists, broadcasters and photographers to improve the quality and timeliness of their work, while also giving them greater flexibility and freedom.

Oil and gas enterprises typically use Inmarsat's mobile satellite services during the initial exploration phase, before a permanent extraction site is established.

With BGAN, exploration teams, together with those conducting oil well and pipeline maintenance, can continue to enjoy the highest standards of reliability and security that are synonymous with Inmarsat's name.

But they can also benefit from more portable and ruggedized terminals, higher speed data communications and network coverage that extends across most of the world's landmass.

Construction companies will find BGAN ideal for providing reliable, high-speed connectivity to and from 'the field'.

And BGAN can also provide effective communications between project sites during 'rolling' construction projects involving pipelines, powerlines, road and railway infrastructure.

The increased bandwidth delivered by BGAN enables mobile project teams to send more comprehensive progress reports, which includes photography and video footage - wherever they are on the planet.

BGAN provides aid agencies and NGOs with a highly reliable, versatile voice and broadband data communications solution.

It can be used by individual aid workers for remote project management or by small teams who need to set up a temporary field office in areas of need, as well as for welfare communications in disaster situations.

Quick to deploy and simple to use, BGAN is ideal for voice and e-mail communications, and high-speed applications such as telemedicine and videoconferencing.
