BGAN as an operational satellite standard

BGAN is a mature satellite communications standard designed for dependable broadband connectivity beyond the reach of terrestrial networks.

Gatehouse Satcom offers several Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) technology products – ranging from embedded communications software to test tools. We have a long-term cooperation and partnership with Viasat and have supplied the complete BGAN Protocol Stack (including UMTS NAS) as a reference implementation used to validate Viasat MTR scripts and associated type approval equipment.

Broadband Global Area Network is a Satellite-based communication network with global coverage offered by Inmarsat. It is used by independent service providers to offer a range of voice and broadband services. The service enables delivery of Internet content, video-on-demand, video conferencing, fax, e-mail, voice, and VPN access at speeds up to 800 kbps accessed via a small, lightweight satellite terminal.
