Hughes 9202M Portable BGAN Terminal
Description
Broadband Connectivity Beyond Cellular Coverage
The Hughes 9202M operates on the Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN), providing reliable IP connectivity across most of the world's land masses and coastal waters. It supports email, secure VPN access, web browsing, cloud applications, video conferencing, file transfers, and business-critical communications in locations where traditional networks are unavailable. Background IP services support speeds up to 464 kbps, while dedicated streaming services are available for applications that require guaranteed bandwidth.
Voice, Data, and Wi-Fi in One Portable Terminal
The terminal combines broadband internet with satellite voice communications in a single portable device. Users can connect multiple laptops, tablets, and smartphones through the built-in Wi-Fi access point or use the Ethernet port for wired connections. Two RJ11 ports allow standard analog telephones or fax machines to be connected for circuit-switched voice and fax services, making the terminal suitable for both field operations and temporary command centers.
Built for Field Deployments
Designed for frequent transport and outdoor use, the Hughes 9202M features a rugged IP55-rated enclosure that protects against dust and water ingress. A backlit LCD display, integrated compass, and audible pointing assistance simplify satellite acquisition, allowing users to establish a connection quickly without specialized equipment. Automatic Context Activation (ACA) further streamlines setup by automatically establishing a data session after registration.
