Inmarsat adds to regional BGAN satellite service
Posted: 13 July 2003
Extended support for IP telephony, videoconferencing and
Mac users further enhance high-speed enterprise data solution
Inmarsat, the Total Communications Network, announced its Regional
BGAN solution has been extended to support Virtual Private Networks
(VPN), allowing mobile users to establish high-speed, secure access
to corporate networks through the world’s leading VPN products.
Inmarsat also announced that Regional BGAN now supports the H.323
standard for videoconferencing and IP telephony, expanding its ability
to deliver rich enterprise communications, and is now easier to
configure for Apple Mac users and those using older Microsoft Windows®
operating systems.
These improvements have been made as a result of Inmarsat’s
programme of consultation with its user community and in response
to evolving market requirements. VPNs have emerged as a key component
of the modern mobile enterprise, with increasingly flexible and
remote working driving demand for secure access to corporate networks
in any place and at any time.
“This latest software release reinforces Regional BGAN’s
position as the only business solution for reliable, secure, mobile
high-speed enterprise communications,” said Issa Odtallah,
senior technical manager at Inmarsat. “These upgrades complete
our solution for connectivity to the enterprise in a business climate
that demands access to information and resources, as and when required.
They are testament to the value that Inmarsat places on consultation
with its partners, sales channels, and end user community.”
Regional BGAN, a notebook-sized satellite IP modem, offers businesses
of all sizes high-speed data services, via satellite, over shared,
secure 144kbit/s channels, virtually anywhere in up to 99 countries.
It extends the reach of the corporate office to allow businesses
to operate without the constraints of terrestrial networks or in
locations where these are not available. It enables remote access
to corporate networks, to the Internet, to email, and to manage
file transfers.
