HDR streaming rates
BGAN HDR supports a portfolio of four channel streaming rates including symmetric and asymmetric options so you only pay for the data you need.
Full channel streaming rate
BGAN HDR will provide a minimum throughput of 580kbps with its full channel option, but users can expect to see an average speed of 600-700kbps, reaching as high as 800kbps.
Built-in bonding
You can double the streaming rates by bonding two terminals together, enabling connection speeds over 1Mbps, which was previously only possible on a VSAT uplink.
Cellular failover
BGAN HDR can also be used as a dependable back-up solution to cellular bonding.
Global coverage
BGAN HDR is available across the globe, with the exception of the extreme Polar Regions, providing connectivity wherever your business or operations take you.
Reliable network
BGAN HDR services are delivered via the Inmarsat-4 network, with 99.9 per cent satellite and ground network availability and an operational lifespan expected into the 2020s.
