of Explorer 110 BGAN Terminal |

The Explorer 110 from Thrane
and Thrane is the smallest, lightest and most robust BGAN terminal available.
A single battery life of the system is 36 hours on idle. External power
is often only needed for recharging. |
|
There is only one button
for the device. Press "Activate" to put
it in pointing mode. An audible beep will begin, and as you slowly move the terminal (by hand) the beep will raise in pitch when you find the satellite. Once you find the highest pitch, press the "Activate" button again to connect. That's it, you have a broadband connection. The 110 has a 7 degree beam making pointing easy for anyone.

Ports available on the Explorer
are ISDN (phone only), Ethernet, and a power port. A rubber
seal is used to cover the ports in the rain. No wires
(or power) are needed for normal operation. |
|
The BGAN sim card is located
inside of the battery compartment on the back of the terminal.
Simply slide the sim card into place. Multiple sim cards can be purchased for the same BGAN terminal, which means a group may each have their own "calling card" sim and keep track of their own costs. |

The Explorer 110 may separate
the "Interface" from the "Antenna" portion
of the terminal. This allows you to run a cable from the antenna outside
to the interface inside for better weather protection.
The most common operation is to keep both Antenna and Interface
together. |
|
Split cables come in different
lengths (3, 10 and 20 Meters) from Ground Control.
The split cable connects the Interface to the Antenna. |

The Explorer 110 power comes
with European standard port, and a U.S. wall plug adapter.
We recommend purchasing a universal power kit for other regions of the world. |
|
External power may be supplied by vehicle
power (12V or 24V) with the optional DC power adapter. |

The optional Explorer bluetooth
phone connects wirelessly to
100 feet
from the
110 terminal. The quality of voice over the BGAN network
is nothing short of excellent. |
|
The 110 requires no external electricity source.
The terminal was designed to be outside and is weather resistant. Note the rubber covers over the ISDN, Ethernet
and
Power Ports.

The optional Explorer ISDN handset
uses a weather modified Ethernet cable to connect the ISDN ports of
both
the phone and terminal. |
|
The advantages of the ISDN handset
over the Bluetooth phone is it can help
point the terminal by showing signal strength. It also has
many parameter controls over the
terminal. |

Small enough to pack anywhere,
and able to withstand the elements, the Explorer 110 is the perfect
solution for a global mobile office.
|
|
Even on a mountain top, there
is no place to remote for connectivity. If you can achieve
line-of-sight with a BGAN satellite, you have
broadband connectivity. |
