Introduction
3.3 Overview of FleetBroadband
3.3.1 BGAN Services
The Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) is a global Satellite Internet Network using portable terminals.
The terminals are usually connected to a laptop computer to access broadband Internet in remote
locations, where a line-of-sight to the satellite exists. The user can make phone calls, access the Internet,
check e-mail, download les, or perform any other Internet activity using the terminals. The network is
provided by Inmarsat and uses three geostationary satellites called I-4 to provide almost global coverage.
The map below shows the three I-4 satellite coverage regions.
