INMARSAT

As the industry leader and pioneer of mobile satellite communications, Inmarsat has been powering global connectivity for more than three decades. They offer an unrivalled portfolio of global satcom solutions including VSAT services, to keep you connected at all times – whether travelling on land, at sea or in the air. They provide voice and high-speed data services to almost anywhere on the planet, so no matter where your business takes you, you can rely on Inmarsat for all your mission-critical communications. Inmarsat’s award winning I-4 satellite network powers many of the flagship services offered today, and will continue to do so well in to the 2020’s. Inmarsat launched the pioneering Global Xpress VSAT service in 2016. Delivered by next generation I-5 satellites manufactured by Boeing, Global Xpress delivers a global Ka-band service offering unprecedented speeds through compact terminals.

BGAN M2M

BGAN M2M is ideal for applications with data volume requirements ranging from megabytes to gigabytes, such as real-time surveillance or high-volume metering and telemetry. It provides full IP data connectivity supported by remote terminal management, debugging and configuration options and using robust and lightweight hardware, BGAN M2M enables a wide range of M2M applications.

BGAN-M2M offers a range of plans from low usage small scale deployments through bulk pooled data use for large-scale distributors. Standard IP connectivity makes BGAN-M2M “plug and play” for many conventional M2M and IoT applications and devices. Pooled data plans reduce risk of unexpected costs if an anomaly occurs on a remote machine.

Benefits of BGAN M2M Service

Easy Integration

Data speeds are 448kbps (send) / 464kbps (receive) which is more than enough for most IoT applications. Because it's IP-based, it's easy to integrate with your existing infrastructure.

Reliabile Service

Inmarsat delivers 99.9% network availability, which is as good as it gets. As BGAN M2M uses the L-band frequency, your devices will remain connected wherever they are, and whatever the weather.

Cost-Effective and Flexible

Ground Control was Inmarsat's first ELEVATE partner which means we have access to great airtime rates for BGAN M2M service. It's ideal for IP SCADA and remote fixed asset monitoring.

IsatData Pro

For reliability, security and scalability, nothing compares to Inmarsat’s IsatData Pro (IDP) service. From simple tracking and monitoring to more sophisticated telemetry, logistics and safety compliance, IDP provides mission-critical data connectivity in a compact, affordable package. Use it as a stand-alone satellite connection for truly remote assets, or a mobile business continuity when coverage, events or disasters impact the availability of cellular networks.

Featuring global connectivity and operating in near real-time, IDP enables and enhances a host of industrial IoT applications where event driven messaging is key. With a host of easily integratable hardware options, very low power usage, and flexible service plans IDP provides mission critical data connectivity in a compact, affordable package.

Benefits of IsatData Pro M2M Service

Reliability and scalability

Inmarsat helps customers achieve total control and visibility of their assets, operating in conditions where cellular and other satellite services are congested, degraded or not available, and providing 99.9 percent availability across its L-band satellite network.

Quick (ROI)

Machine-to-machine services derive value from a seamless global network, using a device that works worldwide without the complexity and costs of multi-party roaming.

Ease of use

The small, omnidirectional antenna makes installation easy and fast. One device works anywhere worldwide, without different frequency bands, SIM cards or roaming fees. Ultra-low power consumption enables battery applications that run for years maintenance-free.

Coverage

Inmarsat’s services are available worldwide, so organisations can rely on complete connectivity for their assets, wherever they’re located, even if they are moving or transferred from one region to another.

Best in class performance

Data payloads up to 10 kilobytes and consistent throughput worldwide enables highly scalable and dependable applications to be developed, while keeping costs in check.
