INTRODUCTION

Your Inmarsat Regional BGAN Satellite IP Modem provides portable, high-speed data communications via satellite. Using “Always On” technology you can remain connected to the Internet while only sending or receiving the data that you need at speeds of up to 144kbits/s, just as if you were sitting at your office desk. The Satellite IP Modem works with your computer using one of three common networking connections: Universal Serial Bus (USB), Ethernet or Bluetooth™ wireless technology. While the Satellite IP Modem is very similar to other wireless data modems that you may be familiar with, there are a few important operating differences to note. Please read this user manual carefully to understand all the aspects of operating your Satellite IP Modem. For further information regarding the BGAN service please consult http://www.inmarsat.com/mmi_latest
