In a standard office environment, broadband access is now taken for granted.

But for those whose jobs take them away to more remote locations, accessing the corporate network or the internet often means a return to slow dial-up connections, or worse still, no access at all. With Tempest Telecom's Inmarsat BGAN service, you can set up a broadband mobile office in minutes – wherever you are on the planet.

Delivered via the most advanced commercial communications satellites ever launched, Tempest Telecom provides a number of affordable plans, that provide mobile broadband services at speeds up to half a megabit in a highly compact, easy to use form.

Journalists, military personnel, aid workers and other established users of mobile satellite communications welcome the superior performance and lighter load of BGAN. But other users, such as engineers, consultants and project managers – anyone, in fact, who wants dependable, secure broadband access when working in locations with unreliable or no telecoms networks – can now reap the benefits of mobile satellite communications

BGAN is accessible via a range of small, lightweight satellite terminals, which provide performance options to suit different operational needs. Standard terminals are highly portable and can be used both indoors and outdoors, being robust enough to withstand challenging environments and extremes of temperature.

Vehicular systems comprise an interior, rack mountable terminal and discreet tracking antenna, which is mounted on the vehicle roof. The smallest standard terminals are designed to suit single users, for whom portability is a key consideration. The larger standard terminals offer a WLAN capability and are particularly suitable for small teams that need to establish a temporary office for an extended period. They are also suitable for users requiring higher bandwidth to enable applications such as live broadcasting.

BGAN is designed for simplicity and ease of use. No specialist technical expertise is required to set up and use it. It’s easy to manage costs, because you can track service usage and charges in real-time. You can use the same device worldwide and the user interface is standard across all terminals. And there are never any compatibility issues with local telecoms networks, because you connect directly to the satellite

The service is accessed via BGAN LaunchPad, a software interface, which is standard across all BGAN terminals.

To evaluate wether a Prepaid, Postpaid or Shared Service plan is best for you, one should first have an understanding of which services are available over a Bgan terminal.

BGAN not only provides direct Internet access just like you would recieve via DSL or Cable Modem in a home office, it also supports the latest IP services and traditional circuit-switched voice and data.

Bgan can also integrate seamlessly with your corporate network, it supports legacy applications while providing a smooth upgrade path to IP. There are terminals for single users and small teams, which can be connected to a laptop via a wired or wireless connection. The user interface can also be customised according to your requirements.

These are the different service types available via Bgan:

There are a variety of postpaid plans that differ based on their monthly subscription fee, with lower usage rates with a higher commitment.

Tempest Telecom's prepaid service is ideal for customers that are either trying to control users to a budget, or using terminals in a shared environment where multiple individuals will share equipment, but pay for their own access. With the prepaid plan, customers activate a SIM card for a terminal, and prepay MBs that allow the internet access through the terminal.

From an enduser standpoint, they will synch the terminal with the satellite first, then connect to the Internet. When the connection attempt is made, the user's web browser will prompt them to enter a PIN number. Once entered the user will gain access to the internet to surf the web, use email or any other application. A window will show how many Megabytes remain on the user's account.

Additional Megabytes can be purchased and added to the account at anytime by either the owner of the terminal or the individual. Users can use their Megabytes on any Bgan or Rbgan terminal that is activated for prepaid service.

SIM cards can be activated with only internet access available or with all other service such as voice and streaming active. These services will be charged to the SIM card owner at the same rate as the postpaid plan.
