The Explorer 325 terminals have already been installed on Elektro Brazil’s operating vehicles as part of an integrated dispatch communication system featuring voice and data connectivity and routing over 4G/3G/GPRS and Inmarsat BGAN. Thrane & Thrane said the deliver represented the largest Inmarsat BGAN delivery project ever in Brazil.

   “Combining the strengths of cellular networks and BGAN makes the Explorer push-to-talk a perfect solution for utility companies such as Elektro,” Thrane & Thrane Vice President Henrik Nørrelykke said in a statement. “The utility market is important to us, but other sectors such as field service, search and rescue, oil and gas and mining can take advantage of our advanced push-to-talk solution.”
