BGAN 9502 Power Requirements
• Power Consumption:
• The Hughes 9502 will consume <1W when in idle mode on the network. Idle mode
is defined as having an active PDP context but the UE has already transitioned back
to the regional beam due to 90 seconds of data inactivity. In idle mode the UE is still
accessible by IP traffic from the network.
• There are two ways to put the UE into an “Off” state for even more power savings:
• The RTU can apply >2.2V @ 1 MΩ to the discrete input Pin#9 on the DB-9
connector to turn the UE Off (Pin#9 is positive and Pin#5 is ground) . When the
RTU removes the 2.2V, the UE will start back up.
• Via a local AT command, a remote SMS command or a configurable timeout from
inactivity on the LAN connection, you can turn the UE “Off”, but the Ethernet
connection will maintain the active pulses and wake up when any LAN packet is
sent to the UE.
• The power consumption for either of these two options will be <50mW.

Inmarsat Dashboard – Control your BGAN Remotely
• Set thresholds by $$ used or by volume of traffic
• Quick and easy on-line provisioning
• Cost control and credit management
• A free service from Inmarsat!
• Near real-time traffic management
• Extensive downloadable report options
• Different access level to suit all needs
• Integrated Inmarsat Trench Firewall Rule Sets
Inmarsat Trench – Free Service from Inmarsat for BGAN
• Inmarsat Trench is a firewall that sits between the satellite
•

•
•
network and the Internet
It allows terminals to access the Internet while at the
same time ensuring that incoming malicious traffic is
blocked
Since Internet traffic is blocked before it goes over the
satellite path you will not be charged for it
Charges are levied only for IP traffic that passes over the
satellite link in both directions
Using only the firewall on your computer blocks traffic only
after it has already come over the satellite path and hit
your invoice, therefore Inmarsat Trench brings you
additional cost savings
