Technical Description
The Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) satellite network consists of three geostationary satellites: -4 Asia Pacific, I-4 EMEA and I-4 Americas, which provide satellite data services around the world. A geostationary satellite does not change its position in the sky, allowing terminals to use much lower transmission power combined with a directional antenna, making low-power satellite services feasible. Because it uses L-band frequencies (1518 to 1675 MHz), the BGAN service is largely unaffected by rain fade, which causes signal degradation in some satellite systems.
Stations using the Hughes 9502 must provide the flat, directional antenna with a good view of the southern (Northern Hemisphere) or northern (Southern Hemisphere) sky. Stations should be located between +75°and -75° latitude. Stations located at the extreme latitudes will need a better view of the horizon at low angles and are more susceptible to line-of-sight issues introduced by nearby buildings or mountains.
There are also multiple methods for addressing average power consumption. The unit canidle in a low-power state or easily be put to sleep under data logger control.
Therefore, the Hughes 9502 can be a good fit for stations with a sensitive power budget.
