[SatNews] The Company has debuted a new Class 2 BGAN terminal...

Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES) has made available its new 9202 Class 2 portable terminal. Fully compatible for operation over Inmarsat’s global BGAN satellite service, the Hughes 9202 is the only Class 2 portable BGAN terminal with built-in, multi-user Wi-Fi access and a full 64 kbps ISDN data channel. Building on the success of the Hughes 9201 Class 1 BGAN terminal, the Hughes 9202 is the world’s smallest Class 2 BGAN terminal on the market, and is ideal for government and non-government organization (NGO) personnel such as first responders, public safety and mobile health care workers, as well as remote personnel in the utility, oil and gas, forestry, and telecommunications industries. The only commercial-grade Class 2 terminal available with a weather rating of IP55 (enclosure protected against dust and water jets), the 9202 incorporates a built-in RJ11 connection for voice and fax service, and is extended L-band ready. Users can connect at IP broadband speeds up to 464 kbps, taking advantage of built-in, multi-user Wi-Fi access and automatic context activation (ACA) — including the ability to transmit SMS messages via the integrated user interface (IUI) without requiring a connected laptop, PDA, or other device.
