Stay in control with BGAN M2M

If you want to monitor and control assets and infrastructure in remote locations worldwide, BGAN M2M is the reliable, real-time surveillance service for you. 

Built on our market-leading and ultra-reliable L-band satellite network with up to 99.9% network availability, you can trust BGAN M2M to provide the operational efficiency and transparency you need.

BGAN M2M enables a wide range of M2M applications and is ideal for those with significant data volume requirements, such as real-time surveillance or high-volume metering and telemetry. 

Using robust yet lightweight hardware, it provides full IP data connectivity supported by remote terminal management, debugging and configuration options.

Benefits

  • Easily integrated: Simple for field teams to set up and integrate with bespoke applications, and to maintain without technical expertise or training.
  • Robust terminals: BGAN M2M is accessed through a range of certified terminals for mobile and fixed use, providing remote management and performance options to suit different operational needs.
  • Affordable: Low hardware costs with subscription-based price plans, no minimum connection fee and minimum billing increments.
  • Private network to secure meet-me point: BGAN M2M meets military and government requirements for security and supports all major VPN products and encryption standards.
     

A choice of service plans

From low usage small scale deployments to bulk-pooled data use for large-scale distributors, BGAN M2M offers a range of service plans to address diverse needs.

Standard IP connectivity means that BGAN M2M is simply ‘plug and play’ for many conventional M2M and IoT applications and devices. While pooled data plans reduce the risk of unexpected costs if an anomaly occurs on a remote machine.

Robust terminals for any application

Our BGAN M2M service is offered on a variety of small but rugged terminals, for fixed or mobile/vehicular deployment. 

They include standard remote management operations and provide a simple Ethernet interface for connecting to a machine/device or IoT gateway. Some models include hybrid LTE operation and wireless LAN. Just tell us what you need.

Where BGAN M2M makes a difference

BGAN M2M is ideal for IP supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). Which means it’ll work for any operation requiring mobile monitoring for data backhaul, remote surveillance, telemetry, and tracking. 

  • Utilities for smart grid and distribution automation, monitoring and automation of reclosers, advanced metering infrastructure, and other aspects of the smart grid.
  • Agriculture for field and ranch monitoring, remote irrigation management, and precision farming technologies.
  • Oil and gas for remote monitoring and management of infrastructure, such as artificial lifts, wellheads, and pipelines, as well as for general environmental monitoring.
  • Mining for enabling IoT sensors at the drill rig to capture and transmit telemetry data, remote video inspection in the field, and optimizing haulage routes.
  • Transport for railway trackside and crossing monitoring, and road signage management.
  • Environment for weather and environmental monitoring.

Features

  • Global coverage: Operating over the Viasat L-band global satellite and ground network, BGAN M2M offers you 99.9% availability wherever you are, except in the extreme polar regions.
  • Performance and latency:Real-time visibility: Send data using BGAN Standard IP at a rate of up to 464kbps with a round-trip latency of under 2 seconds, assuring real-time visibility of critical data
  • Enhanced support: Get free firmware upgrade over our I-4 network, so field personnel do not have to be deployed to remote sites to do it.
