BGAN is short for “Broadband Global Area Network”. It is comprised of a network of three satellites owned and operated by Inmarsat. These three satellites are in stationary orbit around the planet so that no matter where you are, you may always connect with one of the satellites (except for the extreme polar regions). Inmarsat has been a leader of global satellite communications services for over 30 years, and they licenses several manufactures to develop “BGAN Terminals” that communicate with any of the orbiting Inmarsat satellites.
