Consultancy services

GateHouse offers competent support to companies who are considering or currently embarking projects in the world of satellite communications.

Customers planning on developing any kind of BGAN-based product can benefit from GateHouse’s extensive experience in this area in the form of consultancy and support during all phases of product development.  
 
GateHouse can help companies embarking on feasibility studies relating to the use of satellite communications by offering advice and support during the requirements analysis and definition phase of the project. The product of this phase typically forms the basis of decisions relating to which features a BGAN solution should offer, its physical attributes, the composition and architecture, the platform on which to build, to what degree off-the-shelf components can be used and so on.
 
Once committed to a BGAN-based project, GateHouse can provide companies with support and consultancy throughout the development process. We have extensive experience and competence in the areas of software architecture, design, implementation, test, verification and approval as well as support and maintenance for products in the market.
 
The GateHouse SatCom team has been involved in a considerable number of BGAN terminal projects with numerous different customers. The first development project started in 1999 and in the decade that has passed since then, the team’s members have become highly experienced experts in the many aspects of BGAN terminal development.
 
Gatehouse can offer its customers the majority of the software modules that are required to build a fully functioning BGAN terminal as well as the necessary test tools for the entire software development phase. All of these products are available today. Our software modules and test tools are all mature and proven products having been field-proven in a considerable number of BGAN terminals that are approved by Inmarsat and in the market today.
 
Customers benefit from choosing to employ GateHouse BGAN modules by achieving a more cost effective solution compared to developing from scratch as well as a considerably faster time to market, better end-user experience and reduced support and maintenance costs due to the use of mature and proven software components.
 
The use of pre-existing modules does not preclude our customers from defining and creating innovative and original products. All of our modules have been designed with flexibility in mind, so when it comes to new features or hardware platforms, our customers are free to build any kind of BGAN product they can imagine.
