Description
We provide Inmarsat BGAN satellite modems at a low price. Rental modems are only available in combination with airtime; the airtime SIM remains property of WorldSat – has to be returned by the end of the rental period. For rental devices we require a € 200 security deposit and identification before shipping out. Please select the shipping date from Rotterdam and the latest date the equipment will be back with WorldSat with some allowance for postal service delays.
Most satphone handhelds (including the Iridium Go!) only provide you with a 2.5 Kbps connection. The first analog phone-line modems were 56 Kbps and the average webpage in 2017 was about 3 MB, implying it would almost take three hours to load the average homepage on a satphone.
If you are in need of a remote internet connection, enabling ‘real’ e-mail, WhatAapp, sending files and pictures and/or basic browsing, a satellite ‘broadband’ modem is the solution you need. You pay per Megabyte (‘shared’ connection) or per minute (‘private’ connection – stream). Which is not particularly cheap. But with special software it is possible to keep your MB-usage to a minimum: in example, e-mails and WhatsApp pictures can be really small. It is important that any background data-usage (i.e. auto-update) is turned off on your device. Contact us about our pre-configured Toughbooks for this purpose.
