BGAN

Send faster emails and data files via BGAN using our Inmarsat-developed TCP Accelerator software.

The TCP Accelerator for BGAN is available for Windows 7, Vista, XP and Mac OSX for PowerPCs and IntelMac hardware.

It is installed on a BGAN user's PC and significantly enhances the performance of TCP traffic over BGAN in the 'send' direction.
