BGAN Products > Overview
Stratos Regional BGAN (R-BGAN) is the ideal solution for anyone needing to keep in contact with the world. The R-BGAN provides you with high-speed, secure and reliable mobile data communications via satellite. The service provides 24x7 connectivity to any application or information source securely over a 144 kbit/s shared channel from virtually any location across 99 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Indian subcontinent and Northern Africa. It enables business users to access email, connect to their corporate LAN or browse the web as if they were at their own desktop – whether on the move, at temporary office sites or in remote locations. In addition, you have the advantage of an "Always On" connection – you never have to log off because the terminal is a true IP solution. You only pay for the data you send and receive – NOT for the amount of time you are connected.
Stratos R-BGAN has been designed for people who need to travel light. It is a true plug and play solution which works with either your laptop PC or PDA via USB, Bluetooth or Ethernet interfaces. The set up process is automated so all you have to do is connect your PC via your chosen port, lift the lid of the terminal (which is the antenna), point it in the direction of the satellite and log on; you are then free to work as if you were sitting in your office. As Parveen Bansal, The Banker´s Technology Editor noted, "The Inmarsat Regional BGAN service reduces the reliance on physical infrastructure and provides banks, financial services organisations and individuals, with reliable high-speed data links to even the most remote of villages or towns." Anatoli Arkhipox, IT & Product Development Director of Hanza, a Latvian company specialising in the provision of electronic and financial services states, "In Eastern Europe data services are poor and limited mainly to the built-up areas. Even then, these networks are slow and not always reliable or secure. With a Regional BGAN terminal in every customer premise and carried by every Hanza field worker, our customers and employees will be able to communicate with us on a daily basis via their computers. Regional BGAN brings us into to the leading edge delivering competitive advantage and greater customer service." Network Infrastructure (Retail and Wholesale Banking) Award 
Inmarsat has won the Network Infrastructure (Retail and Wholesale Banking) award for its Regional BGAN service at this year´s The Banker Technology Awards. The annual award scheme, which had over 1000 entries this year, recognizes best of breed, innovation and success in financial technology.
"Inmarsat won this award because of its innovative approach to delivering high-speed connectivity to financial institutions wherever they may be in the world," said Parveen Bansal, The Banker´s Technology Editor. "This award is further evidence of us meeting customers´ demands for reliable, high-speed and cost-efficient communications. With Regional BGAN, we can help businesses extend their corporate networks quickly and reliably into the field, while at the same time offering developing countries a cost-effective entry into the Internet age," adds Gill Govier. As an example of the creative use of the R-BGAN, in remote areas, where there is no fixed-line connectivity, Regional BGAN enables banks to roll out ATM services without the need for a telecoms infrastructure. It also opens up the potential for mobile ATM services, where an ATM mounted on a truck would visit villages that would otherwise not have access to such machines. Technical Advantages
