The HNS-9250 uses a fully autonomous tracking antenna that acquires and tracks the BGAN satellite signal while a vehicle is in motion. The BGAN network is not yet optimized for mobile operation, so performance on the move must be considered 'best effort'. Signal outages of more than 3 seconds will cause circuit-switched calls to be dropped and packet data sessions to be interrupted. For example, in mobile operation this can happen when the vehicle passes under a bridge or a roof. User intervention may be required to reactivate connections if longer outage durations occur. Also, if the vehicle moves across a spot beam boundary, automatic switching to the new spot beam is not supported, and both voice and data calls must be stopped and re-initiated.
