Inmarsat BGAN Pricing

To make sure you get the best rate possible for your usage requirements, Ground Control offers a wide variety of BGAN plans.

This means we can reliably pair customers with the right plan – but it can be difficult to navigate all of the options. If you need any help, please contact us and we’ll propose the most cost-effective BGAN service solution for you.

A quick guide is that BGAN Standard+ plans are lower cost, with consumer-grade routing; BGAN plans listed with ‘high priority routing’ will be more expensive. We also have special rates for Emergency Responders.

BGAN FAQs

Since Inmarsat doesn’t sell BGAN service direct, Ground Ground Control provides the monthly or prepaid BGAN services to any subscriber at any time. With pre-paid service, you’re purchasing a set number of megabytes that can be transferred over the course of the valid period.

All megabytes will be available until they’re used or the valid period expires. You can refill or top up a pre-paid plan at any time by emailing us.

Why buy your airtime from Ground Control?

While there are other resellers you could choose to purchase your BGAN equipment and service from, with Ground Control, you’re working with a BGAN internet service provider and not a reseller. We also provide a no-cost BGAN firewall option for high-security and auto-registration pre-configuration for one-button activations – and many other benefits.

Please speak with a Ground Control sales representative to help you find the most cost-effective satellite communications solution for any situation.
