HumanNet, a public service, Non Governmental Organization, sponsored a series of Emergency Communications SimDays last year.
 One new piece of software, announced just today, is an Inmarsat/WiFi link from iPass.
 Inmarsat’s BGAN provides broadband coverage across 85 percent of the world’s land mass and 98 percent of the world’s population?including the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa, the Indian sub-continent, most of Asia Pacific and Western Australia. A portable, laptop-size terminal can access the service.
Unlike Iridium, GlobalStar and Thurya satellite phones that offer voice but slow data, BGAN delivers fast, high-bandwidth IP data at speeds up to 492 kbps. The iPass partnership adds satellite broadband connectivity to iPass WiFi access points.
Inmarsat BGAN service will be available to iPass customers in Q2 2007. Over time, iPass plans to integrate the service into its mobility platform, including the iPassConnect universal client, its patented Service Quality Management system, and iPass’ unified billing system.
