GENERAL INFORMATION
R
RF-7800B BGAN terminal products ensure a seamless tactical network-centric BLOS connectivity interface to
existing Falcon III tactical networks. When the AN/PRC-117G or RF-7800M-MP manpack radio is set up as a
BGAN gateway using a BGAN-enabled preset, the BGAN terminal provides BLOS range extension of data
networking capabilities through simultaneous operation with mobile wideband networked line-of-sight (LOS)
nodes. The Falcon III radios remote control the BGAN terminals to automatically create a connection to the
INMARSAT network, providing a fully integrated end-to-end IP data network for assured and secured
communications.
BGAN terminals can be configured and actively controlled via an embedded web-based interface. The web interface
is used to configure the BGAN terminal to meet system architecture requirements, including all IP networking
properties, automatic network connections, inactivity timers and ISDN properties. BGAN satellite connections can
be initiated and monitored through the web interface. Active connection status is provided on every page. Network
traffic usage is tracked in the amount of megabytes (Background Mode) and minutes (Streaming Mode), both on a
mission basis as well as through the BGAN terminal’s lifetime. Overall BGAN terminal status and version
information may be viewed through the web interface.

RF-7800B-VU104 Land Mobile BGAN Terminal
The Harris RF-7800B-VU104 Land Mobile BGAN Terminal is a Class 10 BGAN SOTM Terminal that provides
data rates of up to 492 kbps while on the move. See
. The BGAN terminal will send and receive IP packet
data via the Ethernet and Universal Serial Bus (USB) simultaneously with circuit switched telephony and data via
the ISDN interface over the INMARSAT BGAN satellite network.
RF-7800B-VU104 may be permanently mounted on a vehicle and is capable of operating at speeds of up to 70 mph.
Continuous tracking with the INMARSAT satellite is provided to achieve successful communications. Full network
connectivity is uninterrupted when vehicular velocity of motion is up to 100 degrees per second, and vehicular
acceleration is up to 100 degrees per second squared in both azimuth and elevation, with simultaneous random pitch
and roll.
