EXPLORER™ 527
Auto-mobile broadband
Whether you are off-roading through the desert, driving down cobblestone streets, or cruising on the highway, EXPLORER 527 ensures that you are connected to the rest of the world via broadband by way of a tracking antenna mounted on the roof of your car.
As a land vehicular rack-mountable BGAN system consisting of a terminal and a tracking antenna, EXPLORER 527 enables you to communicate with co-workers, friends and family at speeds of up to 464kbps from within your car – no matter how and where you are driving.
The units interconnect with just a single cable and are powered by a 12 or 24V battery system. All you need to do is switch on the antenna to log on to the BGAN network that gives you global coverage. The system also provides a high-speed data connection for your PC, and you can even make phone calls and receive faxes in the space of your rugged jeep, dirty truck, classic sedan, luxury convertible, or other. Simply put, the EXPLORER 527 does not care about the state of your ride, or how fast you are going. It just works and hooks you to the world.
