1.3.2 RF-7800B-DU024 Land Portable BGAN Terminal
The RF-7800B-DU024 Land Portable BGAN Terminal is a Class 2 BGAN Land Portable Terminal that provides
data rates of up to 432 kbps. See Figure 1-2. This BGAN terminal is designed for operation in harsh environmental
conditions. RF-7800B-DU024 is a manually pointed antenna system capable of rapid deployment for sending and
receiving data once pointed at the satellite.
1.3.3 USIM/SIM Card
A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) contains an identity that uniquely identifies a subscriber of the Universal
Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). It stores subscription and subscriber related information. The UMTS
SIM (USIM) card must be installed for any operation of a BGAN terminal except for emergency calling.
Access to the USIM, and therefore to the BGAN system, is restricted to an authorized user or number of users, using
the USIM Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN is stored securely in the USIM. The user enters the PIN
using the embedded web-based interface or the Falcon III Manpack radio front panel.
The USIM personalization feature ensures that access to a BGAN terminal or other user equipment is restricted to
an authorized USIM. The USIM and the BGAN terminal share a code stored securely in the USIM and the BGAN
terminal. If a USIM fails to prove its knowledge of the code, it is denied access to the BGAN terminal. If the USIM
is not detected during operation, the BGAN terminal will deactivate any active Packet Data Protocol (PDP) contexts,
detach from the network, and enter a "NO SIM" operational mode. The BGAN terminal must be restarted to detect
a new or replaced USIM. Refer to Paragraph 2.4.
