RF-7800B
OPERATION
R
Streaming Service: A Streaming data connection acquires a dedicated amount of bandwidth from the satellite spot
beam to ensure a minimum amount of guaranteed QoS of data throughput for that connection. The Streaming
Service allows the ability for data rates of 32 kbps, 64 kbps, 128 kbps, or 256 kbps. The RF-7800B-VU104 can
operate at Streaming rates of up to 256 kbps, whereas the RF-7800B-DU024 can operate at streaming rates of up to
128 kbps.
Streaming channels may be preferred when transferring video teleconferencing across the network. Streaming
service rates are charged by the amount of minutes the connection is up on the network. Refer to your BGAN Service
Provider for associated costs.
It should be noted, that International Marine/Maritime Satellite (INMARSAT) guarantees the QoS of the stream up
to where their private network meets the public Internet. It is up to the customer to make arrangements to maintain
the QoS over the Internet to the final destination.
Each device connected to the BGAN terminal can have its own primary PDP context (e.g. background or streaming
connection). Up to 11 devices may be connected to one BGAN terminal at a time. Each device will have a separate
global IP address to the network.
3.7.5 Virtual Private Network (VPN) Connections
When a computer establishes a VPN connection from their computer, through the BGAN terminal, to a remote
network, all data going to or through the BGAN terminal will be encrypted. Thus, after the VPN is established, that
same computer will not be able to remotely control the BGAN terminal using the embedded Web interface. Thus,
ensure all BGAN terminal settings are as required prior to establishing the VPN connection.
