Hughes 9502 Two Piece BGAN M2M Satellite Terminal

Description

The Hughes 9502 is a proven, low power satellite terminal for fixed SCADA, telemetry and M2M applications using the Viasat IoT Pro (formerly Inmarsat BGAN M2M) service.

 

This listing is for the two-piece / external antenna version, comprising an indoor transceiver unit (IDU), separate outdoor antenna (ODU) and 10 m RF cable. The split design allows the antenna to be positioned with a clear view of the satellite while the modem and SIM remain protected inside an enclosure, RTU cabinet or building.

 

Choose between the standard Hughes 9502 or the C1D2 / ATEX-compliant variant for approved hazardous locations.

 

With idle power consumption below 1 W, automatic connection recovery and remote management capabilities, the Hughes 9502 is designed for unattended infrastructure where reliable IP connectivity needs to operate for years with minimal intervention.

 

It connects directly to RTUs, PLCs and other IP-based equipment using Ethernet and is widely deployed for applications including pipeline and well site monitoring, utilities, environmental monitoring, SCADA and out-of-band communications.

 

For installations where a single outdoor enclosure is preferred, see the Hughes 9502 One Piece BGAN M2M Satellite Terminal, which combines the modem and antenna in one IP66-rated unit.

 

Expected delivery time : 2 to 3 weeks.

Key Features

  • Two piece external antenna design: Separate IDU and IP65-rated ODU, connected by the included 10 m (32.8 ft) RF cable, provides flexibility in antenna positioning while keeping the modem and SIM protected
  • Standard or hazardous location option: Available as a standard two-piece terminal or C1D2 / ATEX-compliant variant for approved hazardous environments
  • Native IP connectivity: Provides two way standard IP data over Viasat IoT Pro, with speeds up to 464 Kbps and direct 10BaseT Ethernet connectivity to local equipment
  • Ultra-low power consumption: Less than 1 W in idle regional beam state and less than 20 W during transmission, supporting solar and battery-powered installations
  • Automatic connection recovery: Integrated IP watchdog and auto-context activation can restore connectivity following power loss or disruption without a site visit
  • Remote management: Configuration, diagnostics and terminal control are available through the web interface, SMS and AT commands
  • Multiple network modes: Supports NAT, NAPT, Relay and PPPoE modes for integration with existing IP infrastructure
  • Built for unattended deployment: Operating temperature from -40°C to +75°C (-40°F to +167°F), with an IP65 outdoor antenna designed for permanent external installation.

Frequently Asked questions

Yes. The Hughes 9502 requires a Viasat IoT Pro (BGAN M2M) SIM and airtime subscription to transmit data. Ground Control can supply and provision airtime alongside your terminal, with subscriptions and usage managed through Cloudloop and support available from our in-house teams in the USA and UK.

You can find out more on the Viasat IoT Pro airtime page.

The terminal uses auto-on and auto-context activation to restore internal power states and re-establish the PDP context data session automatically once primary power is reconnected.

Primary IP data connects through an RJ45 Ethernet port. Local configuration is supported via USB Type-B, and external NMEA GNSS positioning data is accepted through an RS-232 DB9 serial port.

Yes. We have more than 20 years of experience supporting BGAN M2M / IoT Pro deployments and can help with replacement terminals, airtime and ongoing fleet management. If you are replacing an existing unit, we can also help confirm whether you need the standard or C1D2 / ATEX variant.

Yes. Ground Control can supply Viasat IoT Pro airtime alongside the Hughes 9502, with subscriptions managed through Cloudloop. Our in-house teams in the USA and UK can also support activation, configuration and connectivity troubleshooting.

The one piece model integrates the transceiver directly behind the antenna in a single outdoor unit. The two piece model separates the transceiver into an indoor unit (IDU) connected to an outdoor antenna (ODU) via a 10-meter RF cable, allowing the SIM card and local data ports to remain inside a secure building or cabinet.
