BGAN in a nutshell
Worlds 1st mobile communications
service to offer:
Broadband data (up to half a megabit)
plus voice
accessible simultaneously
through a single compact device
with guaranteed data rates on-demand
that will be available worldwide

Getting connected to the BGAN

network

Stage 1: Acquire GPS

Global Positioning System: 24
satellites in orbit at 10,900km

Satellite Terminal requires a valid

GPS fix

Integrated into the device for

regulatory compliance

Stage 2: Tune into Global & Wide

Beams
Get Wide beam & broadcast information
from Global beam
Tune into available bearer on
Wide Beam corresponding to location

Stage 3:
Tune into Narrow Beam (Traffic only)
The Narrow beam bearers are
used to carry voice,
Standard/Streaming IP or ISDN
traffic
The ST is handed over to a narrow
beam for that region when traffic
is being passed

Access is easy, efficient and automated

1.Obtain GPS Fix

2.Tune into the Global Beam

3.Connect to nearest Wide Beam and register

4.Narrow Spot Beam will be allocated

(when traffic flow begins)
