Important information about BGAN Explorer 300, 500 and 700 terminals
Update from 2023
We have recently been informed of an issue related to the GPS module of these legacy terminals. Due to the obsolescence of this module, the BGAN Explorer 300, 500 and 700 terminals are no longer able to connect to the Inmarsat network. The Explorer 500 and 700 products were discontinued in 2014/2015 with last service date in 2018/2019. Currently, only terminals manufactured between 2004 and 2007 are affected. However, all other BGAN Explorer 300, 500 and 700 terminals will also be impacted in the coming years and will cease to function.
Stay connected wherever your work or travel takes you with easy BGAN top-ups. Whether you need extra data or airtime, top-up vouchers keep your Inmarsat BGAN terminal active and ready to use without the commitment of a new plan. Quick to apply and flexible to your usage, BGAN top-ups ensure you only pay for what you need, when you need it—perfect for seasonal projects, expeditions, or as a backup to your monthly service.
