Hughes 9203 BGAN Patrol Terminal
The compact, lightweight Hughes 9203 BGAN Patrol communications-on-the-move terminal enables dismounted soldiers to stay continuously connected to the situational awareness picture via the Battle Management System (BMS) for the first time. The BGAN Patrol terminal connects to the satellite network without need for user pointing or intervention and integrates with existing communication systems and batteries. Users no longer need to pause and deploy a static COTP terminal to communicate – reducing vulnerability on the field. BGAN Patrol provides beyond line of sight (BLOS) communications, extending line of sight (LOS) IP networks independently from any terrestrial networks. Users can connect at standard background IP of up to 100 kbps via ethernet or through the built-in multi-user Wi-Fi feature to support a group of local connections.
End user devices, such as Android Tactical devices, can be connected to the BGAN Patrol terminal to provide data to applications vital to gaining an operational advantage over adversaries in the field. Typical applications include:
- Enablement of Battle Management System (BMS), such as TAK and SitaWare
- Bridging of Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) and Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) radio networks
- Blue Force Tracking (BFT) of allied forces on live maps
- Laser range finder data to provide an exact distance to long range targets for snipers, artillery, and air support
- Situational Awareness gathering and reception to maximize coordination
- Calling for Casualty Medical Evacuation (MedEvac)
