The essential tool to ensure robust and high-quality satellite applications connected via BGAN, FBB and SBB terminals with test and verification in an emulated and controlled Inmarsat BGAN environment.
See how it works in this demo by GateHouse SatCom Senior Software Developer Kim Simonsen, who demonstrates the BGAN Application Tester in action.
We deliver test tools for satcom applications to government worldwide. Across air, land, and sea. If you are working in the government sector with e.g. wireless surveillance or terminals in planes or UAVs, you can benefit from being able to test how robust your signal is towards different kinds of impairments. Unconstrained mobility is critical for government operations. With our satcom test tools for BGAN, you can test your satcom equipment at any time and in any scenario.
With a SatCom Tester, you can reproduce any scenario and take your satellite application testing to new heights while on ground. On-ground testing enables you to optimize your applications at less costs in a controlled environment. Safety and performance are guaranteed with satcom test tools provided by GateHouse
Test your Inmarsat SwiftBroadband (SBB) satcom application with the test tools from GateHouse SatCom and cut expenses.
Test, adjust, and use your equipment to secure an optimum connection. If you are working in a team doing live broadcastsin locations with little or no infrastructure, you want to make sure that your terminal is in a proper working condition.
With a BGAN Application Tester, you can test the actual satellite network condition at your destination even before you leave, and you can learn to master the actual setup of the equipment.
BAT is a one box solution to which monitor, keyboard and mouse are connected for the user to operate the BAT. BAT is connected either via coax RF cable or via antenna and RF shield box, to the terminal, and application level traffic is routed to an application server or the internet.
In the emulated environment, an application can connect to and operate a terminal as if it was connected to the live network.
The BAT provides a graphical user interface designed to simplify operation of the test tool. The user interface can be used to simulate a wide range of scenarios such as service rejection, which may affect the performance of the terminal, as well as the total BGAN solution or application, when deployed in the field.
By making training a part of your preparation process, you can ensure optimal conditions for smooth operations in the field.
The BGAN Application Tester will reduce the costs and the time of test efforts as there is no airtime or line of sight required. The predictability and control of the test environment and process will pave the way for a well-tested high-quality product to the end-user.
The BGAN Application Tester offers on-the-bench emulation of the satellite link, the radio access network and the core network, right down to the RF link. Use of a sandbox network environment offers you complete control of the network conditions under which you need to test your terminal or application’s performance. This control will allow you to efficiently optimize, strengthen and ease test efforts.
The BGAN Application Tester from GateHouse facilitates the Dassault-Aviation process, ensuring early testing of their satellite-based applications in a controlled environment and increasing confidence for the real satellite test phase.

GateHouse offers two BGAN network emulators that both provides end-to-end test opportunity in a closed loop environment. The two tools differ in terms of functionality and user-friendliness, in other words, your choice of tool depends on your specific test requirements and your insight into the BGAN network.
