Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN)
BGAN is the leading technology for combining voice/video/data capability with a small form factor for man/vehicle portability and the capability for on-the-move communications. BGAN systems provide data rates ranging from roughly from 32kbps to up to 492kbps and can support advanced features such as Committed Information Rates for applications like video that require guaranteed bandwidth.
