Inmarsat BGAN Link

Inmarsat BGAN Link offers a broadband data service to users and companies with high data consumption requirements using Inmarsat BGAN data plans. BGAN Link’s connection is maintained even during extreme environmental conditions using the L-band radio technology. BGAN Link supports data connection at speeds of up to half a megabyte, which is ideal for email, internet, and corporate VPN access.

Inmarsat BGAN Service Plans

Inmarsat’s monthly plans can be used in certain geographical regions and start from 5GB up to 30GB per month with a minimum contract period of 3 to 12 months. As part of Inmarsat’s fair use policy, when the data package is exceeded, data usage thereafter is throttled (using SAC-C).
