Want to update your facebook wall from the Rocky Mountains, sell those SPY Call Options from your yacht or send a video from your FOB in Kandahar back to base? Well guess what, now you can, right on your Blackberry, iPhone, iPad or Android phone. In fact you can now access your email and data services from just about anywhere on earth, from the phone you have in your pocket right now. BGAN iPad Satellite Internet How is this possible when you can’t even get good service in downtown Chicago you may ask? What you do is hook up an Inmarsat BGAN terminal to a Wi-Fi unit, creating a hot spot, then simply connect to the hot spot via the Wi-Fi option on your phone. Say what? Let me explain. Inmarsat is a provider of high speed mobile satellite internet access (kind of like Verizon) and BGAN is their Global high speed data service. The difference between Inmarsat & Verizon is that whilst Verizon uses cell towers to distribute its signal, Inmarsat beams its signal direct to you wherever you are. You connect to the Inmarsat BGAN Network using a small, lightweight & portable Terminal (like a Thrane & Thrane Explorer 300). You then connect a Wi-Fi box to the BGAN Terminal to rebroadcast the BGAN internet signal. This then creates a hotspot for internet access and you just hook up to it the same way you would any other hotspot. This will work in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Australian Outback and almost all points in between. BGAN Blackberry Satellite Internet The speeds are impressive at up to 486kpbs, this will vary depending on the actual BGAN terminal that you use. Of course this will also work for your iPad or any device that is Wi-Fi capable, which is most smart phones. The best part is that you can connect multiple phones or iPads to the hotspot simultaneously, up to 250 in fact. Of course you are sharing the same signal, but still. We rent this setup for just $99 a week plus usage, which is charged by the Megabyte at $8 to $10 per MB. BGAN iPhone satellite internet We rent & sell the Thrane & Thrane Explorer 300 & 500 series Inmarsat BGAN terminals, in our experience these BGAN terminals provide then perfect combination of portability and reliability. Bear in mind that your BGAN terminal must have direct line of sight to the sky to operate, and therefore may only be used outdoors. You will also need to get a couple of apps installed if you want to use your phone to make calls or send text, we recommend Skype and textPlus for these features.

Hurricane Earl Satellite Image Prepare for Hurricane Earl Call us anytime to reserve your phone or internet unit today at 1-888-884-7623 Comments (2) Categories : Uncategorized Prepare For Hurricane Earl By allroadhome · Comments (0) Monday, August 30th, 2010 This morning Hurricane Earl is tracking toward the East Coast. States that may be affected include North Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire & Maine. Because, in recent years, Hurricanes have rarely affected the East Coast, you may not be prepared for the after effects of such an event. This morning Hurricane Earl is a Category 3 storm, which means that is has maximum sustained wind speeds of 130 miles an hour, and these speeds appear to be increasing. Hurricane Earl Location Wind speeds such as these can take out power lines and cell towers, which translates to land line phone service, internet connections and cell phones not working. The solution to these issues is satellite communications. Satellite phones do not rely upon cell towers or power grids to operate, they operate independently and communicate directly with the satellites overhead, which means they will function normally when all other forms of communications are unavailable. We rent Iridium satellite phones right now from just $59.99 per week and less than $2 per minute. Mobile satellite internet units are also available which will keep you connected to the web when your standard connection is down. These units operate at speeds of about 256kpbs, similar to what you are used to from a cable connection. We rent these units rent from $99 per week, and on top of that you just pay for data transfer at around $8 per MB. You should bear in mind that there are a very limited number of satellite phones and internet access units available for rent nationwide, so if you want to ensure that you will be able to get one of these units you should act quickly, once they are gone they are gone. We are open 24 hours a day and can deliver rental equipment to you the same day you order it if need be, just call us for pricing or with any other questions you may have at 1-888-884-7623.
