The Wideye SABRE™ Ranger is a class 3 BGAN terminal built for long term fixed location outdoor operation. While the Ranger performs like any BGAN terminal, it also maintains a continuous, always available network/Internet connection required for devices such as SCADA sensors. BGAN terminals (except the Hughes 9502 M2M) will close a connection if it becomes idle after a few minutes. The Ranger is perfectly suited as a manned or unmanned communications link. This Ranger is capable of working Standard BGAN Service. The Ranger M2M works with the new BGAN M2M Service. |

Global Coverage & Service
Service for the Wideye Ranger is global except for extreme polar regions. It uses standard BGAN service on any of three Inmarsat satellites for full connectivity from anywhere.

Keep your devices blind to potential hacking from the Internet by two security options. (1) Our BGAN Traffic Control Service sets rules for what traffic is able to go in and out of the BGAN network. This service is included at no additional cost with any Ground Control BGAN subscription. Our other security service is setting up a (2) BGAN VPN or Private Network. Remote devices become
inaccessible from the Internet since they do not have a routable IP address. Maintain complete
security over all your remote assets. |
Consider the Wideye Ranger as a low-power, Ethernet port in remote locations. Industry uses are:
►Utility Smart Grid - Realtime control with less about 1200 millisecond latency.
►Weather, environmental, seismic warning sensors over a wide (global) area.
►Pump/Valve monitoring and control - Access remote devices, screens, parameters.
►Asset Monitoring - Trigger Switches, Door open, motion detector, alarm send information.
►Remote Video Surveillance - 448 Kbps speeds allow for fast refresh-rate of images real-time.
►Credit Card Processing - low power, small profile, make it an alternative to satellite dishes.
►Low or High-Bandwidth SCADA or M2M devices.
►Any remote device that communicates over a standard TCP-IP Internet connection.
$15 per terminal per month - No term contracts - Info
Ground Control's Terminal Management utility tracks, monitors and controls one or more BGAN terminals from a secure intuitive web interface. This highly functional tool provides BGAN GPS location, BGAN service usage totals, terminal activity, PDP context activation-deactivations, geo-fencing, wake-up and sleep commands, and a historic log file for all activity and locations. This is a must have application for asset monitoring.

|
The BGAN Terminal Management solution is $15 per month per terminal added to the manager. There are no term requirements, and you may add and remove terminals at any time. More information on the BGAN Terminal Management Solution from Ground Control. |

The all weather Wideye Ranger is very compact which helps it avoid vandalism or theft. |
|
Contents include the Wideye Ranger, AC/DC power adapter with European/UK/US standards, direct DC power capable, an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, an RJ-11 phone cable, the Multi-function cable, bracketing, pipe clamps, software and users manual. |
 |
|
 |
Two U-bolts secure the Ranger Mounting/Pointing Bracket to a vertical pole (3.75" OD in photo). All BGAN systems operate on the "L-band" which can operate in very sever weather. The Ranger's small size keeps it from moving off signal in sever winds. It is a perfect manned or unmanned remote communications point. |
|
The 33 Foot (10M) Multi-function cable includes Phone, Ethernet and Power. |
 |
|
 |
| A close-up of both ends of the Multi-Function cable. You may plug in any standard phone to the Phone Port or any Laptop directly to the Ethernet port. The other port is for power to the Ranger Electronics.
|
|
Simple connect a Laptop (or IP capable Device), Phone, and DC Power plug to the multi-function cable. With BGAN, you pay for only what you actually transfer, so the open network connection of a Ranger does not impact your usage bill significantly over other BGAN terminals. |
 |
|
 |
The Wideye Ranger ships with an AD/DC power adapter, however, you may run direct DC current to the terminal. Output of the AC/DC Adapter is shown as 15V, 2.8Amps |
|
The two pipe clamps that secures the Wideye bracketing are just under 4 inches wide. |
 |
|
 |
Once powered up, you may access the web interface screen of the Ranger for numerous configurations. Please read the Wideye Rangers Users Manual for more information. |
|
You may temporarily or permanently plug in any standard wired or wireless phone into the RJ-11 phone port. We recommend a standard 2-wire phone that does not require external power. |
 |
|
 |
The Ranger performs quite well extreme weather from -40° F to +167° F ( -40° C to +75° C). I will also operate with up to 25mm of ice buildup on the antenna before network issues. |
|
The Ranger is an excellent manned or unmanned communications point that can be monitored by any system on the Internet. It may also be activated or deactivated (or rebooted) by SMS text message from a GPS satellite, saving on usage or troubleshooting expenses while off site.
