Many vital industries operate in remote locations, including organizations from the agriculture, mining, utilities, and aid and NGO sectors. Real-time telematics and voice communications are critical in helping remote workers stay safe and work efficiently. However, remote environments often lack sufficient cellular connectivity, preventing workers from being able to communicate with their colleagues, perform duties efficiently, or be tracked.
Viasat offers a range of BGAN PTT services delivering voice communications and satellite IP connectivity to organizations wherever they need to operate. With BGAN PTT you can also share telematics data and switch seamlessly between terrestrial connectivity types as you move through coverage zones.
Our push-to-talk (PTT) offerings are built upon our highly reliable BGAN service, which delivers up to 99.9% network availability. So even if you have no land mobile radio (LMR) coverage or lose cellular connectivity you are still connected.
BGAN PTT is available in flexible plans to meet diverse business needs and budgets. For a monthly cost, all PTT voice communications are inclusive or, if you prefer, you can choose one of our standard BGAN plans.
We work with leading hardware providers such as Cobham and Motorola and our services are compatible with low form factor BGAN terminals, such as the class 12 Cobham EXPLORER 323.
BGAN PTT is ideal for industries that have operations in remote locations where reliable communication plays a critical role, such as agriculture, mining, transport, utilities, media, as well as aid and NGO.
If you work in any of those sectors, you will be well aware of the operational dangers and inefficiencies that communications ‘dark spots’ can create. Fortunately, with Viasat at your side, they can become a problem of the past.
