GAN (M4)

Mobile ISDN & mobile packet data

The Inmarsat Global Area Network (GAN) integrates the corporate IT network with a global, mobile communications network. Business critical information can now be provided at both the bandwidth and speed that enterprises demand.

Solutions such as remote LAN access, email, e-commerce, intranet access, image transfer, and both store-and-forward and live video can now be used wherever they are needed - as well as, of course, high-quality voice and fax.

The Inmarsat Global Area Network offers two powerful and flexible services - Mobile ISDN and Mobile Packet data service. These high-speed services are delivered at speeds of up to 64kbit/s, rapidly extending local and wide area networks (LANs and WANs) to where businesses need information.

All the end-user needs to access the Inmarsat Global Area Network is a GAN satellite phone. A range of units is available from the manufacturers.

The Inmarsat Global Area Network uses the Inmarsat satellite network to provide virtual global coverage, and the Land Earth Stations to interface to the world's telecommunication networks.
