A
APN
Access Point Name. The Access Point Name is used by the terminal operator
to establish the connection to the required destination network.
B
BGAN
Broadband Global Area Network. A satellite network based on geostationary
satellites, delivering data rates of up to 492 kbps to virtually any part of the
earth, with full UMTS (3G) compatibility.
C
CM
Continuous Monitoring
CS
Circuit-Switched. Circuit-switched networks require dedicated point-to-
point connections during calls.
D
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol for assigning dynamic IP
addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can
have a different IP address every time it connects to the network.
DNS
Domain Name System. A system translating server names (URLs) to server
addresses.
G
Geostationary
Placed in a fixed position relative to a point on the surface of the earth.
I
I/O
Input/Output
IAI-2
Inmarsat Air Interface-2. The air interface used for BGAN. IAI-2 is an
evolution of MPDS with new bearer types, which give a wide range of data
rates from 16 kbps up to 492 kbps. By utilizing different modulation schemes,
variable coding rate and power adjustment, it is possible to change the bearer
type to give optimum throughput with efficient use of the satellite resources.
