BGAN Software Defined Radio

In need of incorporating BGAN capability on Software Defined Radio (SDR) platforms? The GateHouse BGAN solution for SDR is a complete waveform. Type approved by Inmarsat for the Inmarsat BGAN satellite system. Applicable to any segment; commercial or military.

Land, maritime and aeronautical

Together with a hardware platform, the solution forms a complete radio for land, maritime or aeronautical use. The waveform is designed for military as well as civilian use and it is type approved by Inmarsat.

Well-documented, mature software

The BGAN SDR is a complete solution with full modem design based on the existing BGAN Protocol Stack, already incorporated in more than 120,000 BGAN terminals from several suppliers.

Experienced development partner

With GateHouse, you get an experienced partner for all phases of a solution development project from requirements specifications through design, implementation and test.

The benefits in short:

Enables global SDR-based satellite communication
Minimum effort required for integrating the waveform with different radio platforms
Supports the full suite of BGAN bearers, such as packet switched data, circuit switched data and Integrated Services for Digital Network (ISDN)

Technical description

The BGAN waveform includes all the software necessary to use the BGAN services. The solution includes code for FPGAs, DSPs and GPPs. It also handles all UE (user equipment) classes; at start up the actual UE class will be configured.

The solution is developed to be easily portable across SDR platforms and will, as far as possible, only require standard SCA interfaces. The waveform has an interface for antenna pointing and control. The physical layer manages the RF hardware, HPA and LNA. The platform can be any standard SCA compliant platform.
