Description
Reliable Mobile Satellite Communications
The Hughes 9450L-C10 is engineered to deliver dependable broadband connectivity wherever terrestrial networks are unavailable. Its autonomous tracking antenna continuously acquires and maintains the connection to the Inmarsat BGAN satellite, allowing vehicles to remain connected while traveling through remote regions without requiring manual antenna alignment.
Supporting standard IP data speeds of up to 464 kbps and streaming IP services up to 128 kbps, the terminal is suitable for remote office connectivity, telemetry, operational reporting, secure application access, and fleet communications. It supports both standard BGAN and BGAN M2M services, providing flexibility for a variety of mobile deployments.
Designed for Ethernet-Based Deployments
The Lite Ethernet model is intended for organizations that already have an established networking infrastructure inside their vehicles. Rather than integrating wireless networking or voice interfaces, the terminal provides Ethernet connectivity for direct integration with existing routers, switches, firewalls, or specialized communications equipment.
This simplified design reduces system complexity while giving network administrators greater flexibility over how local devices are connected and managed.
Built for Demanding Field Operations
The 9450L-C10 is designed for continuous operation in challenging outdoor environments. Its tracking antenna features an IP56-rated enclosure that protects against dust and water ingress while standing up to vibration, changing weather conditions, and daily mobile use.
The system can be configured through its integrated web interface and supports remote management, making it easier to monitor and maintain terminals deployed across multiple vehicles or field teams.
