ABL's INMARSAT Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) is a completely transportable and mobile solution that uses a lightweight satellite terminal, comparable to or smaller than the size of a laptop computer.

BGAN enables users to access email, corporate networks and the internet, transfer files, video conference, and make telephone calls, and make live video transmissions from nearly anywhere in the world using a portable device that fits in a briefcase and is user deployed.

The following is a summary of some of the BGAN services available. The avilable services depend on the specific terminal used a number of different devices are available.

Standard "Best Effort Class" IP Service is a variable bit rate, up to 492 kbps, always on service. This service is intended for web access, email, instant messaging, file transfer, and other similar applications. The applications best suited for this service are those that are tolerant of varying bit rates. The user pays only for data transacted, not by time on the network.

Premium "Streaming Class" IP Service provides a guaranteed full-duplex bit rate. User-selectable options are 32, 64, 128, or 256 kbps, and are available without any user coordination with the NOC. This service is targeted toward applications such as live video streaming, video conferencing, time-sensitive file transfers, etc. (any application that requires a guarantee of performance). The user pays for this service by the minute.

All terminals offer a toll-quality voice service that operates simultaneously with the data service. So, a user is able to initiate a large file transfer and then make a phone call while the data transfer is taking place.

Full-featured terminals (Thrane Explorer 700 and Hughes HNS-9201) also offer ISDN connectivity for connection of legacy devices such as H.320 videoconferencing CODECs and STE phones. As with the voice service, the ISDN service operates simultaneously with the IP data channel.
