a
comprehensive

that
enables
large
organisations
to
provide
employees
on
the
road
and
in

locations
with

and

access,
improving
their
operational
effectiveness,"
said
Christopher
Britton,
Managing
Director,

"Incorporating
the
Vizada
BGAN
service
expands
our
powerful
Managed
Services
portfolio,
enabling
us
to
meet
all
enterprise
communications
needs
with
supporting
SLAs."
Vizada’s
BGAN
service
is
based
on
its
leading
global
IP
network,
specifically
developed
for
mobile
satellite
broadband

A
team
of
dedicated

"Our
solution
is
based
on
the
rugged
Hughes
9201
BGAN
platform,
which
is
one
of
the
highest
bandwidth
terminals
available
and
supports
WLAN
connectivity
in
addition
to
other
standard
data
interfaces,"
confirmed
Lars-Steinar
Bakke,
vice
president
of
Sales,
Europe
&
CIS,
Vizada.
"It
is
ideal
for
either
a
single
user
with
bandwidth-hungry
applications
such
as
live
video
or
for
small,
remote
teams
needing
a
temporary
office
with
high-speed
connectivity
to
the
corporate
network.
Users
are
no
longer
constrained
by
location,
as
the
BGAN
service
enables
full
corporate
network
and
Internet
access,
including
email,
telephony,
streaming
and
high-speed
file
transfers."
The
Hughes
9201
BGAN
terminal,
in
combination
with
Vizada
Solutions™,
which
run
over
this
network,
enable
any
organisation
to
set
up a
broadband
mobile
office
in
minutes
from
anywhere
in
the
world,
providing
simultaneous
voice
and
high-speed
data
access
to
the
Internet
and
corporate
intranets.
Rugged
and
flexible,
the
Hughes
9201
is
designed
to
operate
in
extreme
conditions,
is
easy
to
use
in
both
portable
and
semi-fixed
formats
by
simply
plugging
in a
phone
or
laptop,
and
connects
seamlessly
to
the
Internet
and
corporate
intranet
via
the
preferred
VPN
application.
