BGAN HDR services now live
Following the BGAN HDR update
last month, Inmarsat announced that asymmetric and codec testing has
successfully concluded, marking the global availability of BGAN HDR’s full
suite of services.
Asymmetric services
Designed to respond to market demands to provide more bandwidth in the return
direction, the BGAN HDR full asymmetric channel offers an average streaming
rate of between 600-700kbps – with 64kbps in the forward direction.
Its half-channel asymmetric option comes at the same price-point as the
existing 256kbps BGAN streaming service, but offers average throughput between
300 – 350kbps, allowing those 256kbps customers to benefit from the resulting
higher picture quality for the same price.
BGAN HDR – a new era of
streaming live video
Unlike other on-demand and guaranteed streaming rates in the BGAN portfolio,
BGAN HDR offers a range of speeds within each of its channels – enabling users
to take full advantage of available bandwidth at their specific location.
Because of this, there is an additional terminal feature that informs end-users
of throughput once the session is up and running. This will enable them set
their codec to this ‘optimum’ speed, rather than waste bandwidth where
previously they had to set their codec to a minimum guaranteed speed.
BGAN HDR also accesses all the other services that BGAN offers, such as
Standard IP, voice and text messaging. For streaming services, the current
firmware release requires the header compression option to be turned off. This
means the traffic files will be larger, but there will be no impact on quality.
BGAN HDR – a new era
There is no doubt we have now delivered a new and compelling proposition which
fits market requirements, both on price and performance. BGAN HDR’s suite of
services offers unprecedented, superior throughput
speeds in the most portable form-factor, as well as value for money.
This new service marks a new era of BGAN connectivity and reflects Inmarsat’s ongoing
commitment to support those high-value customers who depend on a highly
portable satellite solution for streaming high-quality live video, wherever
they are.
