Hughes Inmarsat 9502 BGAN M2M terminal

The Inmarsat 9502 BGAN M2M terminal from Hughes is an all-IP BGAN M2M satellite terminal with low power consumption.

The IP satellite terminal is said to provide reliable connectivity over the Inmarsat BGAN for IP SCADA and M2M applications. The low power consumption (<1 W idle) of this modem makes it possible to provide end-to-end IP connectivity to sites off the grid and is suitable for power-challenged locations relying on solar battery arrays involving sensitive power use.

Delivering affordable, global, end-to-end IP data connectivity, the terminal enables applications in industry sectors such as SmartGrid, environmental, pipeline or compressor monitoring, well site automation and out-of-band management to primary site communications.

The modem can be controlled remotely via SMS and offers an integrated IP watchdog to ensure ‘always-on’ network connectivity and an auto-on/auto-context activation which automatically restores power and PDP connection to itself following loss of power and/or IP connection. The modem includes 10 m of RF cabling and an antenna that can be positioned remotely from the transceiver.
