The Hughes 9502 has unique features that make it possibly the best remote communication solution for low-bandwidth or high-bandwidth M2M, SCADA, or any IP device control: |
 |
Low Service Costs - Starting at $23.99 a month
Low KiloByte Cost - Pay For Only What You Transfer.
The 9502 uses special M2M BGAN service that
charges between 1 to 2 cents per Kilobyte! Excellent for small packet communication. And BGAN M2M service does NOT bill for
overhead data related to
establishing (or reestablishing) a connection to the High-Speed satellite network. This is a great deal for remote device control.

 It is a high-speed, real-time Ethernet port to the Internet  for any TCP-IP/Serial M2M, SCADA device.
The connection is always live 24 hours a day 7 days a week from most locations on the globe. map
It operates in extreme hot or cold temperatures -40°F to 167°F (-40° to 75° C) using only 4 watts.
Can use special BGAN M2M service with that does not charge for overhead networking costs.
New Month-To-Month M2M Service Plans.. No long term commitments - more
New Prepaid M2M plans. Purchase bulk Megabytes that can be used anytime for 1 year - more
Ideal for low-bandwidth remote communication that uses from 2 to 50 Megabytes per month.
Unlimited Use BGAN plans are also available for the 9502 - more
BGAN M2M service only bills for the meaningful data transferred through the terminal, and not for
overhead, connection charges, or any data not from the attached equipment or client network.
Global Coverage - Equipment can be located anywhere without notification to Ground Control.
Ubiquitous Global Network - Use the same service provider (Ground Control) for all remote locations.
When a critical issue arises, having broadband 448 Kbps communication speed is always available.
The data connection is open, and stays alive. No wake-up operation needed to transmit/receive.
It is secure from hackers with powerful firewall rules in place, or use a private network for ultimate.
It draws only 3 to 4 watts for an always open TCP-IP network connection. Hibernation mode draws
just 0.01 watt and wakes up (in 30 seconds) on any LAN activity - Excellent for small solar installations.
SMS messaging control. Hibernate, Activate, Get usage totals, all from any authorized browser.
It does not require a laptop, or certified technician to install at remote locations. more
Serial RS232 M2M devices may use a simple serial to ethernet adapter. more
Service Fees for BGAN M2M start at $23.99 a month for 2 MB Plan.
Hughes 9502 may be configured to operate with standard BGAN and BGAN Link Service. more info
The One-Piece and Two-Piece 9502 terminals operate identically. Where the One-Piece places the 9502 transceiver behind the antenna, the Two-Piece system lets you place the transceiver inside of an enclosure or inside of a building.
A nice feature about the One-Piece is that there is no bulky 10 meter antenna cable to deal with (we also offer a 10 foot antenna cable here), and you only need to run an Ethernet cable and a 12-24 volt DC power line to the terminal. However, the 2-Piece is less expensive, and you only need to run the antenna cable between it and the transceiver.
The 9502 maintains an around-the-clock live TCP-IP connection over the BGAN satellite network drawing only 3 to 4 watts of power. This means ANY
TCP-IP
device using an Ethernet connection to the 9502 is always able to communicate over the network to any IP address on the Internet instantly.
The Hughes 9502 has a unique watchdog option where the terminal will ping an external IP address after a set period of time and if it not successful, the terminal will reset, reestablishing the network connection automatically. Below is the configuration screen for setting up the watchdog service.

While a laptop is handy for pointing the 9502, it is not required. Many installs may be in awkward locations, such as on a pole or building side. In these cases, a pair of headphones use the audio port of the 9502 for and audible signal strength tone for pointing. We recommend the 9502 be configured to operate with connected equipment prior to remote installation... So during installation, the only action required is mounting and pointing. Excellent for non-trained personnel, or for installers who don't wish to contend with a laptop. |

Service for the 9502 is global except for extreme north and south polar regions. The terminal may move anywhere on the globe at any time with the same service plan.

The Hughes 9502 M2M BGAN Terminal can operate even if the antenna becomes misaligned. The 9502 is also connected to the omni directional "wide beams" of Inmarsat satellites. Access the 9502 with a "backdoor" communications channel with 9502 SMS messaging commands for many operations. This is a real advantage over satellite dish technology.

$19 per terminal per month - No term contracts
Ground Control's Terminal Management Portal will track, monitor and control one or more BGAN terminals from a secure intuitive web interface. This highly functional portal shows terminal GPS locations, service usage, wake-up and sleep commands, a historic log file for all activity, and many other features.
The BGAN Terminal Management Portal is $19 per month per terminal. There are no term contracts, or minimum number of terminals required. You may add and remove terminals at any time. More information on the BGAN Terminal Management Portal. |

Installing the BGAN M2M Sim Card into the 9502. The 9502 terminal uses specialized BGAN M2M service (via BGAN M2M Sim Card), that will NOT work when installed in other BGAN terminals. |
|
A Type-N to TNC adapter is included for the 9502 antenna port. The 10m cable has Type N connectors at both ends. |

You may purchase our mounting bracket, or customizes your own to secure the antenna. There are 4 identical bolts protruding 17mm from the back of the antenna with 4 securing locking nuts. Dimensions of the 4 bolts are 70mm W x 90mm H on center. Bolt hole size in custom bracket should be 3/8th" or 1cm. |
