GAME-CHANGING THRANE & THRANE EXPLORER 325 RECEIVES INMARSAT TYPE APPROVAL


EXPLORER 325, the new entry-level ‘on-the-move' BGAN terminal from Thrane &
Thrane has received Inmarsat Type Approval. Unveiled March 2010, EXPLORER 325
is a small, lightweight and easy-to-use terminal for vehicular use, and offers
low-cost of entry compared to other BGAN solutions for ‘on-the-move'
applications. First customer shipment has been brought forward following the
approval, and now takes place mid-July 2010 

The Thrane & Thrane EXPLORER 325 offers data speeds up to 384kbps standard IP
and up to 128kbps streaming, and works down to 5° elevation whether stationary
or moving at speed across all types of terrain. It provides global access and
is suitable for a wealth of applications and user segments from government and
military through to NGO, humanitarian and field service use. The new price
point will also open up cost-effective on-the-move communications to new
markets, such as utilities and transportation. 

The Thrane & Thrane EXPLORER 325 is designed to be easy to install and simple
to operate. It consists of three fully integrated units; a transceiver, IP
handset and an auto tracking and maintenance free antenna with magnetic roof
mounts: Simply place the antenna on the roof of the vehicle, connect it to the
transceiver and the vehicle is turned into a mobile communication hub. 

“The size, weight and importantly, the price of EXPLORER 325 widens the scope
for voice and data use in moving vehicles. We're delighted to have received
Inmarsat Type Approval and we're looking forward to seeing new types of users
taking benefit from being able to reliably use the BGAN service whilst they are
moving,” says Morten Rishøj, Market Development Manager at Thrane & Thrane. 

The expansion of the Thrane & Thrane EXPLORER family with EXPLORER 325
strengthens the company's position as the leading manufacturer of terminals for
Inmarsat's BGAN service. Thrane & Thrane EXPLORER terminals are highly regarded
across multiple industry sectors thanks to the reliable, robust and easy-to-use
hardware that enables trouble-free voice and data communication from anywhere
in the world. EXPLORER 325 joins the family as the second on-the-move BGAN
terminal, alongside EXPLORER 727.
