Coverage Area By Inmarsat
Near-global coverage is provided via the Inmarsat satellite constellation that orbits roughly 22,000 miles above earth. The constellation consists of 13 satellites in geosynchronous (GEO) orbit that are positioned to transmit radio beams covering the earth’s oceans and land areas.
Inmarsat coverage extends to parts of the world from latitudes of -82° to 82° regardless of longitude, meaning the polar regions at higher latitudes are excluded from coverage.

- User-friendly: Any user can set up a BGAN terminal and connect their device to the internet within minutes.
- Seamless connectivity: With BGAN, you have access to a seamless network with near global coverage.
- Simultaneous voice and data: Just one BGAN terminal enables you to use both voice and data services simultaneously.
- Flexible applications: BGAN terminals come in portable, fixed and vehicular options for any use case.
- Cost efficiency: After the initial cost of equipment, the price of BGAN top-ups is based on the amount of data used.
