Reliable connectivity that can be counted on anywhere 

Viasat’s BGAN PTT is a push-to-talk service for voice communications and satellite IP connectivity, enabling organizations to stay connected with their teams wherever they are. 

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.
