Note If the standard connection is closed, the words Connect Standard are displayed below the
connection icon. Click on the icon to open the standard connection.

Opening a streaming data connection
If you require a guaranteed data rate for your connection (if, for example, the application is time
critical), you can connect using one of the three dedicated streaming connections, at the following
data rates:
•
32kbps
streaming
•
64kbps
streaming
•
128kbps
streaming
•
256kbps
streaming
Each dedicated streaming class connection is charged by the length of time that the connection is
live. When you open a streaming connection, the standard connection is closed.
Tip
By default, error correction (also called network packet retransmission) is switched on.
Inmarsat recommends that you turn error correction off for UDP/IP connections, as this
feature is not required for this connection type. Refer to “BGAN and IP data connections” for
details.
