Key Features
The Hughes 9502 IP satellite terminal ensures reliable connectivity via the Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) for IP SCADA and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. It offers affordable, global, end-to-end IP data connectivity, supporting industries such as environmental monitoring, SmartGrid, pipeline monitoring, compressor monitoring, well site automation, video surveillance, and out-of-band management for primary site communications.
With its impressive low power consumption (1W idle), the Hughes 9502 provides end-to-end IP connectivity to off-grid locations. This innovation enables reliable service at power-challenged sites that rely on solar-battery arrays with sensitive power budgets.
The Hughes 9502 comes with 10 meters of RF cabling, allowing flexible antenna placement in complex installations while keeping the SIM card secure inside a premise or enclosure to protect against theft, unauthorized use, and vandalism.
Firmware updates are rare, but when available, they can be upgraded over-the-air (OTA) at no additional cost, saving customers both time and money.
