3.3 Overview of FleetBroadband
3.3.1 BGAN Services
The Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) is a global Satellite Internet Network using portable terminals.
The terminals are usually connected to a laptop computer to access broadband Internet in remote
locations, where a line-of-sight to the satellite exists. The user can make phone calls, access the Internet,
check e-mail, download files, or perform any other Internet activity using the terminals. The network is
provided by Inmarsat and uses four geostationary satellites called I-4 and Alphasat to provide almost global
coverage. The map below shows the four satellite coverage regions.
