BGAN M2M Satellite Terminal
The 9502 terminal delivers affordable, global, end-to-end IP data connectivity enabling applications in industry sectors such as environmental monitoring, SmartGrid, pipeline monitoring, compressor monitoring, well site automation, video surveillance, and out-of-band management to primary site communications.
The exceptional low power consumption (1W idle) of the Hughes 9502 makes it possible to provide end-to-end IP connectivity to sites that are off the grid. This breakthrough provides end-to-end IP connectivity to power-challenged locations that rely upon solar- battery arrays involving sensitive power budgets.

Antenna Positioning Flexibility
The Hughes 9502 includes 10 meters of RF cabling, granting the user freedom to position the antenna remotely and away from the transceiver in complex installations while securing the SIM card inside a premise or enclosure to better protect against unauthorized use, theft, and vandalism.
The One-Piece 9502 is also identical in service performance to the two-piece 9502, even though it has a smaller antenna. Both systems are class 2 BGAN terminals. Only a 12-volt power cable and an Ethernet cable are needed for the cable run to this device. Exterior-rated Ethernet cables are rated for 328 foot (100 meter) cable runs.
The Hughes 9502 includes the One-Piece terminal, a padlockable security bar that keeps the enclosure caps from being removed, and four mounting bolts. We recommend the mounting bracket when purchasing the One-Piece 9502.

A satellite dish (VSAT) may have cheaper service to transmit large amounts of data, but VSAT dishes are bulky, often require certified installation, use more far more power (100-150 watts vs 4 watts), and the signal can be knocked off with wind, snow or ice. And if the dish is moved off signal with wind, it will require a certified installer to drive to the site to repoint. In contrast, the Hughes 9502 is extremely small, and operates very well in extreme weather snow/ice and high winds. It also DOES NOT require a certified installer since anyone may point a BGAN terminal. And it will take a lot of snow and ice to knock a system offline… far more than a satellite dish.
Pointing a 9502 is not as critical as with VSAT dishes and slight misalignments won’t effect connectivity. The power draw of a 9502 is a fraction of VSAT systems (.01 to 4 watts) and excellent for remote solar installations. As for transferring data, most M2M devices, POS terminals, or any other IP device can be tweaked to send small amounts of data making the small monthly fee a very cost effective, reliable solution.
Monitor and control all rural or urban assets anywhere on the globe and with one service provider.
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.
The Hughes 9502 One-Piece BGAN Terminal is excellent for locations that may not have an enclosure for remote equipment. (The Hughes 9502 standard system requires an enclosure).
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.
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.
The One-Piece places the Hughes 9502 terminal inside of a milled aluminum case two caps on both ends. Removing the caps requires only a screwdriver with the four screw-bolts. (These caps are lockable using the locking bar/plate (shown on top).
The four components that make up the 9502 BGAN solution… The L-band antenna, 10 meters of RF cable (Type N connection at both ends) the 9502 BGAN terminal, and a TNC to Type N connector.
The Hughes 9502 2-Piece terminal may be mounted to any pole or wall with the transceiver inside of an enclosure. Ground Control offers a shortened 10′ (3 meter) antenna cable for close proximity to enclosure installs.
Ground Control also offers a sealed enclosure specifically designed for the 9502. This enclosure is all weather NEMA rated.
The Hughes 9502 1-piece is designed for installations where an enclosure is not available and connection is to a device via Ethernet. Both the 1-piece and 2-piece 9502 operate identically.
The Type N connection on the back of the 9502 antenna. Note the 4 bolts on the back of the antenna are identical. In the picture above, are 2 black rubber caps over 2 of the protruding bolts.
You may purchase our mounting bracket, or customize 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.
Since the 9502 can use less than .1 watt of power (in hibernation mode, 4 watts in 24 x 7 mode), small solar solution like the one above can be designed and used.
