BGAN HDR & Streaming Services

Streaming Services

All BGAN Terminals enable broadband communications that can be utilized to establish audio/video conferencing. Streaming services can be used by broadcasters to stream live video with dedicated bandwidth, in remote areas where traditional cellular service may be unreliable or non-existent. Live event broadcasters use streaming channels to avoid audio and video failures during a video feed. While streaming video is possible over the standard shared BGAN service, it is sometimes unpredictable, and failures sometimes occur.

Streaming services connect to the Internet just like standard BGAN services, however streaming services are charged by the minute of use instead of by Megabyte transferred like standard BGAN services.

Streaming Applications

• Broadcasting with Encoder/De-coder based solutions
• Audio/Video broadcasting at remote locations
• Store/Forward options
• 2-way capable video conferencing (Hardware or Software based) typically from/to remote site and fixed office
• Surveillance applications for one-way remote IP, JPEG or video, motion activated or live video access

How to Access Streaming through BGAN Launchpad

Streaming options over a BGAN Internet connection are available through the BGAN Launchpad application. Once the BGAN terminal acquires a satellite signal and registers, you can click on the 'Data' tab, to display the following connection options: 'Connect Standard' or one of several 'Streaming' options.

BGAN HDR Service

BGAN HDR or "High Data Rates" are available for the Cobham Explorer 710 BGAN Terminal and the Hughes 9211 BGAN Terminal with unshared channel speeds of 650 Kbps. The full channel option over BGAN HDR, with its significantly increased streaming rate, delivers a real step-change in video quality that revolutionize the satellite news-gathering across the media sector. A portfolio of high data streaming rates for broadcasters, media organizations and governments looking to deliver superior video quality anywhere in the world.

BGAN HDR Features

---

HDR streaming rates: BGAN HDR supports a portfolio of four channel streaming rates including symmetric and asymmetric options so you only pay for the data you need.

Full channel streaming rate: BGAN HDR will provide a minimum throughput of 580kbps with its full channel option, but users can expect to see an average speed of 600-700kbps, reaching as high as 800kbps.

Built-in Bonding: You can double the streaming rates by bonding two terminals together, enabling connection speeds over 1Mbps, which was previously only possible on a VSAT uplink.

Cellular failover: BGAN HDR can also be used as a dependable back-up solution to cellular bonding.

Global Coverage: BGAN HDR is available across the globe, with the exception of the extreme Polar Regions, providing connectivity wherever your business or operations take you.

Reliable network: BGAN HDR services are delivered via the Inmarsat-4 network, with 99.9 per cent satellite and ground network availability and an operational lifespan expected in

User Friendly: No technical expertise or training is needed to set up and use BGAN HDR. The terminal is plug and play, so you can establish a connection within minutes.

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH 1 MEGABYTE OF DATA?

---

Web Pages: An average of 6 web pages can be viewed with 1 Megabyte. However, if a webpage has video 1 Megabyte could be transferring every 10-30 seconds.

Email: 1 Megabyte is approximately 99 plain text emails, 3 emails with attachments. It is difficult to provide an exact conversion of data type to Megabyte, because everything thing you send and receive is unique and may be either large or small

Videos:  Flash videos can be very bandwidth intensive, and will transfer at the max speed of the BGAN terminal. An estimate of 1 Megabyte could be transferred every 10 to 30 seconds.

Voice Calls:  Do not use data rates.  You are charged separately with a lower rate for placing a phone call.   Cost can be from $0.80 to $1.20 per minute to any cellphone or landline worldwide. Incoming calls are free, however, the calling party will be charged international rates by their carrier. You can add +1 USA Local number service that can reduce these rates through a VOIP forwarding service.

Applications and System Updates: Background applications and Operating systems updates and other services that connect to the Internet automatically will add the data usage. These applications, updates and services may be disabled in the settings of your computer, smart phone or tablet.
