After wikipedia: ''The '''Broadband Global Area Network''' ('''BGAN''') is a global satellite network with telephony owned by Inmarsat using portable terminals. The terminals are normally used to connect a laptop computer to broadband Internet in remote locations, although as long as line-of-sight to the satellite exists''
<br />
=== Terminal connectivity ===
Hughes 9101 can be interfaced using Ethernet, Bluetooth and USB.Only one interface can be active - you select interface using "select" button and then modem restarts with selected interface active. To check what interface is active - press "select" for 2 seconds and proper LED blinks for a very short time.
<br />
* Bluetooth - device is detected as some kind of ancient Bluetooth PPP profile, probably additional drivers are needed.(bluetooth password: "blue")* USB - no known drivers, although I suspect this is some kind of virtual/RNDIS-type device, showing as ethernet network card on your PC* Ethernet (actually works)
