The BGAN Network Emulator is the most comprehensive test tool for both manual and automated terminal testing – no airtime or line-of-sight required. It is applicable to all segments: land, maritime, aviation and space. Get complete control of your Inmarsat BGAN test environment with the BGAN Network Emulator.
The BGAN Network Emulator brings the BGAN satellite network into a test bench, allowing you to simulate a satellite connection for a BGAN, FBB or SBB terminal. This means that you can end-to-end test your terminal – in a controlled test environment! It is an off-the-shelf product, which has proven its worth throughout the course of development of several terminals in the market today.
The BGAN Network Emulator enables controlled and advanced testing of your BGAN user terminals while remaining off-air.
Testing off-air provides several benefits such as no air-time costs, no travel expenses and no limitations with regards to available network conditions.
When testing a terminal, you want to know how it responds to the unpredictable behavior of a live network and link, such as allocated bandwidth, blockage or bit errors.
By testing off-air with the satellite simulator, you can reproduce any scenario – no matter if this means best or worst possible conditions.
With the satellite link emulator, you can test as many times as needed, without the restrictions of limited airtime or line-of-sight, as you do not have to physically be out at sea, on the road or in the air to test.
Having the option of unlimited testing at your disposal means you can get to the root of issues and ensure the stability your end users expect.
With extensive scripting and configuration possibilities the BGAN Network Emulator is an ideal tool in an automated test setup enabling regression test and pre-release qualification.
The unpredictability of testing on a live network can cause unforeseen costs in terms of prolonged test processes, travel expenses and more airtime. This can leave you in an uncomfortable position where you will have to outweigh whether to test as much as needed, or just as much as the budget allows. With the BGAN Network Emulator you avoid this grievance as you can fully plan and control the scenarios you need to test and hereby predict the exact cost associated with the testing.
Growing dependency on digital solutions has demanded stronger and more effective satellite connectivity on unmanned vehicles for air and sea applications such as UAVs, UCAVs, RPAs, ASVs, and UUVs. It is crucial to test all satellite enabled applications to guarantee the safety and performance of your systems.
Prepare for critical missions by taking satellite enabled application testing to new levels. With a BGAN Network Emulator, you can reproduce any scenario and test all satellite enabled applications.
I look forward to discuss your specific need for satellite communications software or test tools.
