Easy to use

!  BGAN LaunchPad™

!  Same user interface across all terminals

!  Consistent user experience globally

!  Set up a broadband mobile office in minutes

Rapid/Initial Site Set-up !   Scenario – Remote location with no terrestrial or

cellular option. Initial site office set up. Minimal site security.

!   Requirements •  Access to Office applications •  Provide updates/maintain contact •  Day 1 Voice/Data comms

!   Solution •  Provide Mobile Satellite terminals to individuals or

teams

!   Benefits •  Portable device so leaves site when you do •  Instant, reliable, easy to use Broadband connectivity •  Tested and optimised to work with standard Office

applications •  Easily deployed to next site – Global Coverage

Radio Communication – VHF B/haul

!   Enables VHF and UHF users around the world to talk to each other across a dedicated audio link via BGAN.

!   Low cost Push 2 talk technology (8kbit/s). Talk from site to site or back to Base.

!   Increases BGAN range over Kilometres instead of metres.

!   Can be used for GPS tracking, to track vehicles or individuals.

ICS – Iconics Smart Link

Site/Personnel Security !   Scenario

•  Remote location. Initial site set-up. Lone workers/security personnel. Site security being established.

!   Requirements •  Remote surveillance of both physical assets

and personnel •  Real time alerts to central office of incidents/

emergencies •  Instant access to video capture of incident

!   Solution •  Deployment of AFIANT Monitoring solution

with notification and back-haul provided by Mobile Satellite terminal

!   Benefit •  Reduced site shrinkage •  Health & Safety/Insurance compliant •  Instant assessment of situation and liaison

with site personnel

Remote Mechanical & Medical Assistance

!   Scenario •  Remote location. Significant Mechanical failure or

medical incident.

!   Requirement •  Urgent expert attention required to remedy

mechanical failure or medical incident.

!   Solution •  Deployment of Frontline Communicator and Mobile

Satellite. Streams hi-quality live video footage to remote expert. Guidance can be provided via simultaneous voice connection.

!   Benefit •  Reduced down time •  Reduced centrally-located expert travel

expenditure •  Personnel with manageable medical conditions can

remain in job and on site

Independence of communications !   Scenario

•  Numerous contractors and sub-contractors on site. Long delays to access the central communications hub.

!   Requirements •  Efficient project management requires the efficient

and unencumbered flow of information between the numerous parties involved.

!   Solution •  BGAN deployment to all parties requiring

interconnectivity during each phase of the project

!   Benefits •  Build time is reduced due to increased efficiency •  Contractors operate more efficiently and leave

project earlier •  Owners can exercise greater control over access to

central comms

Primary Comms Back-up !   Scenario

•  Longer term project. VSAT or terrestrial central, primary comms solution deployed.

!   Requirement •  Back-up solution should primary fail

º  VSAT will fail in heavy rain or heavy sand/dust storm º  VSAT can suffer mechanical failure that requires engineer visit º  Terrestrial service can be inadvertently damaged on site or

remotely º  Seismic activity can disrupt all deployed VSAT over wide

geography

!   Solution •  Mobile Satellite terminal can be instantly set up if primary

fails. Up to 10 users can work simultaneously.

!   Benefit •  Guaranteed, easy to set-up, broadband connectivity •  Site remains connected and active – down time reduced

Corporate Social Responsibility !   Scenario

•  Remote project in an area associated with poor indigenous communities

!   Requirements •  Operators need to illustrate how they are minimising

disruption to the local communities and, where possible, how they are improving their situation

!   Solution •  BGAN terminals (with prepaid airtime) can be

deployed into the local schools and community along with PC equipment.

!   Benefits •  Owners/operators can evidence proactive approach

to social responsibility •  Local communities enjoy enhanced education

provision through online access. Potential for delivery of Telemedicine

•  Local communities can be connected through land phone

Employee Welfare !   Scenario

•  Remote project requiring employees to be away from home for periods of time. No existing voice or data connectivity.

!   Requirements •  Employees need to maintain contact with

families and other organisations – voice call and internet connectivity required.
