The Cobham BGAN Explorer 727 is a portable satellite broadband station intended for installation and use in vehicles. The antenna is simply mounted on the roof of the vehicle, where it can constantly track satellite positions in order to allow the Explorer 727 to provide high speed broadband connection at all times.
EXPLORER 727 can withstand severe environmental conditions such as humidity, dust, extreme weather and changing temperatures, so stable, reliable connectivity is inherent, even at speed. Travel across country and never be out of touch even in the back of beyond. Say goodbye to different roaming fees when you cross borders, and benefit from the single, competitive BGAN tariff wherever
The BGAN Explorer 727 provides rapid data speeds and deploy able communications at any time. It’s sturdy, robust design allows it to be deployed safely in any situations, even dangerous military actions. Thanks to its reliable design, the BGAN Explorer 727 can provide fast broadband connection speeds in fast-moving vehicles faced with any situations. Their small size also allows them to be carried around by personnel in order to be manually installed.
Because EXPLORER 727 automatically tracks satellite positions it makes high-speed connectivity and communication possible – even at speeds in excess of 200 km/h. Run a multitude of office, security and commercial applications thanks to full IP connectivity and be ‘connected to the world’, even when you’re in your car. Or truck. Or armored vehicle.
The Explorer 727 extends the capabilities of BGAN for mobile applications and users. The system is ideally suited for:
Mobile media operations requiring high speed voice and data connectivity for reporting and live video news feeds from remote locales.
Defence & Military applications that require global secure high speed communications for voice and data. Turns the vehicle into in-theatre communications hub. Mobile and secure in last tactical mile.
Public Safety, DR & Emergency Response applications for assured communications in remote regions without reliance on terrestrial infrastructure. For response and damage assessment, send photographs, videos, interviews. Phone calls independently of terrestrial/cellular networks. Telemedicine from a moving vehicle.
Oil and gas applications for data vans, wireline trucks or field crews that need high speed connectivity and voice communications.
Transportation and shipping companies that need to extend IP data applications to their fleet. Special sensitive cargo which requires monitoring. Direct data links to shipper. IP link for security applications. International lines – one roaming rate regardless of country.
Mobile Banking and Point of Sales applications. Rural mobile banking offering the customers instant access to their accounts, when and wherever needed.
