SATCOM as a Service – a path forward for integrated SATCOM architecture of the future
Inmarsat BGAN Patrol is the world's first BGAN terminal designed for use on foot by soldiers and emergency services. Featuring the Hughes 9203 BGAN Communications-on-the-Move (COTM) terminal, this lightweight and compact device allows users to stay continuously connected.
The BGAN Patrol terminal effortlessly auto points and connects to our resilient and reliable ELERA satellite network without the need for operator intervention, and it integrates seamlessly with the user’s existing communication systems and batteries.
BGAN Patrol extends Line of Sight (LOS) IP networks and enables Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) communications independently of terrestrial networks. The device can support up to 200 kbps standard background IP via ethernet or Wi-Fi, enabling a group of local users to stay connected whilst dismounted.
The BGAN Patrol terminal provides optimal connectivity above 30 degrees elevation towards the satellite. It can be connected to tactical handheld devices, enabling data for applications that are vital for gaining an operational advantage over adversaries in the field.
