Telenor Satellite Services will offer customers who activate Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) service in May and June $1,000 of free airtime, the company announced May 15. This Free Airtime Program is in addition to Telenor’s previously announced BGAN Terminal Swap Program in which customers can save up to $1,500 on the purchase of a new voice and data BGAN terminal with the trade-in of a used satellite handheld phone.

BGAN, launched in December, offers data communications at speeds up to 492 kilobits per second and the ability to conduct voice and data communications simultaneously.
