Inmarsat Regional BGan - Coverage / service levels:

Portable Sat Modem@144kbps

"Inmarsat's satellite technology provides a fast, efficient connection, allowing you to download 50K files, e-mail or attachments
in about 10 seconds.

Advanced spot-beam technology allows Inmarsat to maintain a footprint stretching across 99 countries from Western Europe and the northern half of Africa, across central and Eastern Europe, the southern CIS countries, to the Middle East and the Indian sub-continent.

The maximum bandwidth within each spot-beam is 144kbit/s. But because Regional BGAN is a packet data network, the average bandwidth available is shared among several connected users if they transmit data at the same time."
