Skygistics is now in partnership with Inmarsat’s Broadband Global Area Network service provider (BGAN), which is accessible via a small, lightweight, satellite communication terminal, which is easy to carry, quick to set up and simple to use. You can use this device anywhere in the world, and it is small enough to carry in your luggage, weighing just a little more than 1kg. There are a range of satellite communication terminals available that provide a wide range of performance options to suit a range of different operational needs. This service is accessed by means of BGAN LaunchPad, a software interface, which is standard across all terminals. The smallest and lightest unit in the range is the EXPLORER™ 300, which comprises a single unit incorporating a transceiver and an integral antenna in a compact, robust design. The terminal combines performance with ultimate portability and is ideal for single users, who need to set up a complete broadband mobile office in frequently changing locations.
