Hughes 9502 Indoor Unit (IDU) C1/D2
The Hughes 9502 Indoor Unit (IDU) C1/D2 is the hazardous-location version of the Hughes 9502 BGAN M2M modem, designed for deployment in Class I, Division 2 (C1/D2) and ATEX-compliant environments. It delivers the same reliable satellite IP connectivity as the standard model while meeting certification requirements for installation in industrial locations where flammable gases or vapors may be present.
Designed for oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, utilities, mining operations, and other hazardous industrial environments, the C1/D2 Indoor Unit enables secure remote monitoring and machine-to-machine communications over the Inmarsat BGAN network. Its low power requirements, remote management capabilities, and rugged design make it well suited for permanent unattended installations.
