Reporters use BGAN to track tornadoes

BGAN delivers broadband access across most of the world's landmass. It gives flexibility of being able to setup a mobile office in minutes from almost anywhere. The BGAN terminal can be connected quickly and easily to multiple laptops via wired or wireless connections.

According to Inmarsat's Newsletter "Inside Track", weather reporters in Oklahoma are keeping local residents informed of possible tornadoes and hurricanes with the BGAN.

These reporters are using Vehicles mounted with BGAN terminals and streaming video software. The footage has helped the reporters win many awards.

Storm chaser and journalist Marc Dillard has been using the BGAN and only praises the unit.

“The BGAN network is available everywhere, and that is a very strong point,” he said.

“BGAN also offers on-the-move transmission capabilities, which satellite news gathering trucks cannot.”
