Router function
The terminal has a router function which routes traffic between the local network connected
to the terminal and up to 11 BGAN network connections (also called PDP contexts on the
BGAN network).
The router contains NAT (Network Address Translation) which allows sharing of a public IP
address between a number of local network users.
Standard or Streaming data
The BGAN network supports different classes of data connection to the Internet. The main
classes are
Standard data
and
Streaming data
.
• Using a
Standard data
connection, several users can share the data connection
simultaneously. This type of connection is ideal for TCP/IP traffic such as e-mail, file
transfer, and Internet and intranet access.
The user pays for the amount of data sent and received.
• Using a
Streaming data
connection, you get an exclusive, guaranteed bit rate connection,
ensuring seamless transfer of data. This type of connection is ideal for time critical
applications like live video over IP.
The user pays for the duration of the connection (per minute charge).
