The Cobham SATCOM EXPLORER 510 is the world’s smallest EXPLORER BGAN, and offers an ideal combination of quality performance and compact portability. It’s also quite durable due to its sturdy design – the magnesium casing ensures that it stays sturdy through wear and tear, and the water and dust-resistant design ensures that it stays completely functional while traversing.
It’s significantly smaller than a laptop and weighs under 1.4kg, so it’s easy to carry around when travelling – especially when venturing into wild territory. The SATCOM EXPLORER 510 enables fast performance as it provides high-quality voice and data-based access at speeds up to 464 kbps.
You can connect the optional EXPLORER LTE Modem to the USB port and turn your device into a communication SmartHub. Use local cellular services when available and BGAN when there’s no other option.
The durable magnesium casing and a dust and water resistant design makes the EXPLORER 510 the perfect choice when working off the beaten track, but still dependant on a reliable connection.
