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.

Overview

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.

Hughes_Low_Profile_BGAN_Shot

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.

Hughes_Low-Profile_External_Antenna

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.

Package Contents

The Hughes Low Profile BGAN ships with these components:

  • Transceiver (middle)
  • Lay-Flat Antenna (right bottom)
  • 2 RF Cables (one has right-angle).. Use one of two for the install
  • Pointing Wedge to raise height of antenna on ground
  • Amphenol waterproof 6 Pin Ethernet Connector (for RJ-45 cable)
  • Amphenol waterproof 3-Pin Power cable (supply 12 to 24 volt DC)
  • LPB User Manual
