Mobile
BGAN Solution from Spectra Provides High Speed Broadband Communications
on the Move
Spectra
Group, a UK-based supplier of Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) to
governmental organisations and the military, has announced the immediate
availability of the Thrane & Thrane Explorer 727, a new mobile communications
solution. The system uses the latest spot beam handover technology to
provide resilient and reliable connections and continuous signal availability
as it switches between satellite beams. It delivers high-speed broadband
to vehicles on the move enabling more effective voice, data and video
communications in any environment.
The new Explorer 727 BGAN terminal and antenna solution is aimed at a
broad range of applications, both military and civilian, that depend on
high quality, uninterrupted internet and voice communications on-the-move,
regardless of location. It also eliminates problems caused by low signal
strength in built up areas by automatically regaining the signal should
it be degraded by the surroundings.
This
vehicle-based BGAN solution features the same mobile data rates as non-mobile
BGAN terminals - standard data rates up to 432kbps and streaming data
(QoS) from 32 – 256kbps. Installation is quick and easy with plug
and play operation. Interfaces include 4 x 10/100 Ethernet LAN (PoE),
2 x 2-Wire (RJ11), ISDN (RJ45) and 5x I/O connectors, making it suitable
for use with a wide range of equipment and applications. The antenna can
be placed up to 92m away from the vehicle/terminal and provides full IP
connectivity and Wi-Fi hotspot functionality.
According to Simon Davies, Managing Director of Spectra: 'This powerful
new mobile satellite solution is one of the first to offer true voice,
data and video communications at broadband speeds whilst on the move.
It will consolidate our position as a leading supplier to governmental
and military organisations around the world.'
The Spectra Group of companies is based in Herefordshire, UK and provides
a full range of telecommunication services for a wide range of defence
and security clients worldwide. The company has established an enviable
reputation for delivering a high quality, professional service often in
hazardous and hostile environments.
