[SatNews] Stratos Global is now making available available their new BGAN Money Bundle packages that enable customers to use all Inmarsat BGAN services for one predictable subscription fee.

While existing BGAN allowance packages offer specific allocations of data or voice minutes, the new BGAN Money Bundles include all BGAN traffic types – including standard IP, streaming IP, ISDN, voice and SMS – for a single monthly, quarterly or annual fee. Stratos was the first Inmarsat Distribution Partner to activate the new BGAN Money Bundles on the September 1st program launch date. The world’s first BGAN Money Bundle package activation was for a major customer of Stratos’ — New Zealand Channel Partner Wright Satellite Connections http://www.satconnections.co.nz/). Stratos also has activated its first Money Bundle Shared Corporate Allowance Plan (SCAP) for a customer in Singapore.

BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) uses highly portable, lightweight terminals to provide simultaneous, high-speed IP data (up to 492 kbps) and voice connectivity anywhere in the world. BGAN is ideally suited to enable communications in areas where terrestrial or cellular networks are damaged, congested or non-existent. BGAN Money Bundles from Stratos are available across all familiar BGAN usage plans, including Geographic plans, Single-SIM Premium & Flexible plans, and Multi-SIM SCAP plans. Stratos Dashboard has also been upgraded with these new packages, enabling customers to self-activate all BGAN Money Bundles. Since the program launch, Stratos has been offering a BGAN Money Bundle customer training program and dedicated customer support to help its Channel Partners implement these new packages in their systems.
