BGAN 9502 SCADA Solution From HUGHES

The world’s most cost-effective, all – IP BGAN machine-to-machine satellite terminal with low power consumption.

In 2009, Hughes introduced the Hughes 9201-M2M satellite IP terminal, a single –box, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)-ready, machine-to-machine version of the highly successful 9201 terminal, certified for operation on the Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN). Rugged and easy to use, the Hughes 9201-M2M is fully IP compatible and configured for self-contained SCADA operation via a standard Ethernet interface.

This year Hughes introduced the most cost-effective IP SCADA solution with exceptionally low power consumption, the Hughes 9502 BGAN. With reliable connectivity over the Inmarsat service, the Hughes terminal delivers affordable, global, end-to-end IP data connectivity enabling applications in industry sectors such as environmental monitoring, SmartGrid, pipeline monitoring, compressor monitoring, well site automation, video surveillance, and out-of-band management to primary site communications.

The exceptional low power consumption (<1 W idle) makes it possible to provide end-to-end IP connectivity to sites that are off the grid. At less than a penny or two per kilobyte, customers cannot find a better value from comparable technologies.

The Hughes 9502 includes 10 meters of RF cabling, granting the user freedom to position the antenna remotely and away from the transceiver in complex installations while securing the SIM card inside a premise or enclosure to better protect against unauthorized use, theft, and vandalism.

With increasing security demands regarding SCADA and critical infrastructure protection (CIP) in the US, there is increasing use of satellite-based communication. This has the key advantages that the infrastructure can be self contained (not using circuits from the public telephone system), can have built-in encryption, and can be engineered to the availability and reliability required by the SCADA system operator. Earlier experiences using consumer-grade VSAT were poor. The Hughes 9502 BGAN provide the quality of service required for SCADA.
