A Concealed BGAN Terminal
For portable high-speed Internet connection that can be concealed under a layer of dirt, Inmarsat has developed the Low-Profile BGAN terminal. This terminal lays flat on the ground and connects to a BGAN satellite totally concealed. This terminal is ideal for a wide variety of uses including surveillance, remote home security, wildlife monitoring, fisheries, discreet weather monitoring, anything that requires a full-time Internet connection that is hidden to sight.

The Hughes Low-Profile BGAN terminal offers consumers, businesses, public agencies and other government organizations a hidden satellite communications terminal to avoid potential theft or the ability to discreetly set up communication with an unseen footprint.
This rapidly deployable BGAN antenna is designed for unmanned remote and extreme weather concealed operation. The antenna and terminal lay flat on the ground and can be covered with surrounding materials including dirt (up to 2 centimeters). Since it's a BGAN terminal, it can connect globally with any of the Inmarsat BGAN satellites under one service plan. It maintains a high-speed
data rate for applications almost anywhere in the world.
 |
The terminal may be buried under a thin layer of dirt or surrounding material as long as that material does not have metal in it. The arrow on top of the antenna should be pointed toward the BGAN satellite. There is 30 to 60 degree view angle of this antenna, and it may be tilted up for higher elevations. |

The Hughes Low-Profile BGAN has IP-67 rated ports so that this solution can be submerged for a short period of time (up to 1 meter). The ports are Ethernet, Antenna (TNC), and DC power (between 10 and 26 volts). |
|
Both the Antenna and the Transceiver may be buried or covered. The power cables may connect to an DC power source, and the Ethernet connector provides a standard TCP-IP Internet connection automatically. |
 |
|
 |
The compact low-profile antenna has an arrow embossed on top that is used to point toward the BGAN satellite. |
|
The LPB antenna itself has a 30 degree view angle in the direction of the arrow embossed on the antenna. The pointing wedge helps the installer aim the terminal for connecting with the BGAN satellite. |
 |
|
 |
The Amphenol waterproof connecters are for power and Ethernet. The TNC antenna connector & cable are also waterproof. |
|
Inside the IP-67 enclosure is the Hughes Low-Profile transceiver, which is based on the Hughes 9502 BGAN Terminal transceiver. |
 |
|
 |
The Low-Profile antenna covered in client created material to aid in an undetected communications link. |
|
When buried (up to 2 centimeters in some cases), both the transceiver and antenna are hidden to the human eye |
