HUGHES9502

HUGHES9502 Hughes 9502 Inmarsat BGAN Satellite IP Terminal (-40 to +75C) w/Antenna, 10m (33ft) Cable & Mounts (Ships as 30492, 34230, 30455, 30456, & 31447)

The HUGHES9502 is a packaged solution for adding real-time IP communications to a remote station. Using the Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) to provide reliable end-to-end IP connectivity, the Hughes 9502 terminal makes it easy to connect to a remote station with Campbell Scientific software or with the many IP protocols supported by our hardware. If cellular communications would be a perfect solution for an application, but the station is outside the area of cellular coverage, the Hughes 9502 is likely a great alternative.

The HUGHES9502 package includes all the hardware needed to get started. Simply add a power source and Ethernet-capable data logger or peripheral, and then provision the terminal with a data plan. The HUGHES9502 kit includes the Hughes 9502 terminal, directional antenna, antenna cable, all mounting hardware, and all the cables needed to connect the terminal to the data logger and power supply.

Note: The HUGHES9502 does not offer an omni/mobile antenna connection.

end-to-end IP

The Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) satellite network consists of three geostationary satellites: I-4 Asia Pacific, I-4 EMEA and I-4 Americas, which provide satellite data services around the world. A geostationary satellite does not change its position in the sky, allowing terminals to use much lower transmission power combined with a directional antenna, making low-power satellite services feasible. Because it uses L-band frequencies (1518 to 1675 MHz), the BGAN service is largely unaffected by rain fade, which causes signal degradation in some satellite systems.

Stations using the Hughes 9502 must provide the flat, directional antenna with a good view of the southern (Northern Hemisphere) or northern (Southern Hemisphere) sky. Stations should be located between +75° and -75° latitude. Stations located at the extreme latitudes will need a better view of the horizon at low angles and are more susceptible to line-of-sight issues introduced by nearby buildings or mountains.

There are also multiple methods for addressing average power consumption. The unit can idle in a low-power state or easily be put to sleep under data logger control. Therefore, the Hughes 9502 can be a good fit for stations with a sensitive power budget.
