Powerful, Portable Satellite Internet Terminal
The Cobham Explorer 710 is the flagship Explorer terminal tied with the Hughes 9211 for the fastest speed possible of any Satellite Internet terminal.
The carry portable office provides high-speed internet access with multiple interfaces for countless applications. Connect your laptop, smartphone, or tablet to the 710’s Wi-Fi hotspot with a powerful 100-meter Wi-Fi range. Internet browsing, email, live video broadcasting, phone services, large file transfers, and even video conferencing are all available with Go-anywhere Pro Standard service.
For video broadcasters, Go-anywhere Pro streaming services are available for a unshared 650Kbps channel for reduced jitter, video dropouts, or fast file transfer.

Explorer Connect Smartphone App
Download the free iPhone or Android app and use your smartphone and tablet to connect, monitor, control and communicate. As well as enabling control and configuration of the terminal, the app also turns a smartphone into a satellite phone to make and receive voice calls.
This does not degrade Internet service since calls are connecting with a different “regional” beam (Internet is a “narrow beam“).
Two-Part Terminal
The Explorer 710 is unlike other portable satellite internet terminals in that the antenna may be separated from the transceiver and be mounted on an external pole mount, up to 80 meters away with the optional antenna cable. This setup is ideal for permanent installations where the antenna may need to be located in an awkward location.

The 710 can be used on remote sites to create a instant mobile hotspot for one or more wireless capable devices. The terminal also provides phone access to a standard phone, or to smartphones using the Explorer Connect App.
One of the best features of the 710 is its ability to stream live news video at 650 Kbps on an unshared satellite channel using the Viasat Go-anywhere Pro HDR streaming service.
From the back, the Explorer 710 transceiver is unfolded for access to the exterior control panel and cable ports. There is also a small compass built into the frame to aid in pointing.
The 710 has a wide display with a 5 key keypad for scrolling through menus quickly. Not the power light and status light and power toggle switch located at the bottom right of the transceiver.
The 710’s web interface is easily accessed by any connected browser by going to 192.168.0.1. All functionality including connecting types, usage, WiFi security and many other features can be accessed from this interface.
The 710 may also be accessed by any smartphone using the Explorer Connect App. This control panel also gives a host of tools to use your 710, including voice support for your smartphone. The satellite telephone number can be configured to ring your cellphone when connected.
The 710 has (from right to left), an external battery port, DC in, Phone port for any standard phone (RJ-11), LAN 2 (RJ-45 Ethernet), LAN 1 (RJ-45 Ethernet & PoE capable), and an ISDN port. Onboard power will supply the BGAN for up to 36 hours on standby.
Another excellent feature with the Explorer 710 is that the transceiver of the system can clip off of the base and be moved inside a structure using a long antenna cable. This keeps the waterproof antenna outside with the connection ports inside. An excellent design for long term use at remote locations. An optional pole/wall mount is available in the accessories section.
Here is the short antenna cable connecting the transceiver to the Explorer 710 antenna. Optional antenna cables available come in 10 meter, 30 meter, 50 meter and 100 meter antenna cable lengths.
The Explorer 710’s transceiver is secured to the base of the Explorer 710 with two clips. The transceiver only needs to be unclipped if using a long antenna cable to place the transceiver indoors. Otherwise, it stays attached to the base for normal operation.
The Explorer 710 Terminal is much smaller than its predecessor (the Explorer 700). Shown here next to a 12 inch ruler. It comes in at 11″ W x 13″ H x 2.13″ D (279 x 332 x 54 mm). The 710 weighs 7 lbs (3.2 kg); the antenna itself is 1.7kg, and the transceiver is 1.5kg.
Small and lightweight, the Explorer 710 is easily used in city, as well as rural settings. Simple connectivity means that anyone can point and operate this device.
