The BGAN system
What is BGAN?
The Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) is a mobile satellite service that offers high-speed
data up to 492 kbps and voice telephony. BGAN enables users to access e-mail, corporate
networks and the Internet, transfer files and make telephone calls.
Coverage
The Inmarsat® BGAN services are based on geostationary satellites situated above the equator.
Each satellite covers a certain area (footprint). The coverage map below shows the footprints of the
BGAN system.
Note
The map depicts Inmarsat's expectations of coverage, but does not represent a
guarantee of service. The availability of service at the edge of coverage areas fluctuates
depending on various conditions.
The launch of the F3 satellite (POR) will be determined in due course.
