Introduction Overview The Hughes 9202 Land Portable Terminal is the latest Hughes BGAN product to provide reliable satellite connectivity over the Inmarsat BGAN satellite network. The Hughes 9202 comes in a very small and portable package, and it allows the user to send and receive IP packets via Ethernet and WLAN interfaces.
