Overview of the FleetBroadband system
BGAN Services
The Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) is a global Satellite Internet Network using
portable terminals. The terminals are usually connected to a laptop computer to access
broadband Internet in remote locations, where a line-of-sight to the satellite exists. The
user can make phone calls, access the Internet, check e-mail, download files, or perform
any other Internet activity using the terminals. The network is provided by Inmarsat and
uses three geostationary satellites called I-4 to provide almost global coverage.
The map below shows the three I-4 satellite coverage regions.
Note: The above 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.
