LYNGBY, Denmark - At the NBAA 2013 Business Aviation Convention
& Exhibition, Cobham SATCOM has announced an updated and
enhanced product support service to meet the needs of its
customers.
Cobham plc Strategic Business Unit (SBU) Cobham SATCOM has
expanded its global network of support staff, which now comprises
personnel in Lyngby, Denmark; Cape Town, South Africa and Virginia
Beach, VA, and there are plans to expand the aeronautical support
in China as Cobham bids to lead the way in the region in product
support services.
Cobham SATCOM has also launched an improved eSupport portal
which incorporates all business areas and support engineers
globally in one system. Furthermore, the telephone system for
technical support is being upgraded to enable regional calling in
to global support staff.
Cross training of support staff has taken place to ensure
comprehensive knowledge on the aeronautical satellite
communications product portfolio consisting of the established
AVIATOR and Omnipless brands.
"The experience, expertise and global operations of Cobham
SATCOM, evident in the company's investment in product and market
development, are now reflected in its commitment to product
support," said Christian Kock Johansen, Vice President Global
Customer Service, Cobham SATCOM.
"As well as an increase in the number of staff providing
support across the world, there has been additional training to
bring staff up to speed with the new portfolio of products. With
our plans to expand the aeronautical support in China and the Asia
region in general, we will also be able to secure a
'follow-the-sun' coverage of technical support to our partners,
which means we will have support staff in different time zones
providing support locally as well as globally."
The updated 24/7 eSupport portal for technical support was
launched earlier this year, providing an enhanced knowledge base
access which can aid customer self-service. Support issues raised
and handled through the eSupport portal can be tracked by Cobham
partner vendors.
Cobham SATCOM offers its partners a repair as well as an
exchange service, so customers can choose to have their own part
repaired or they can opt for an exchange part as a replacement,
thus getting the equipment back into service quicker.
Cobham SATCOM's already well-established core portfolio of
SwiftBroadband solutions, ranging from the AVIATOR 200, 300 and 350
to the AVIATOR 700 and 700D and the new AVIATOR S series, provides
in-flight connectivity to support a host of advanced applications
including cockpit voice dialling in addition to in-flight calling,
email and internet browsing for passengers.
Allowing comprehensive and flexible installation options, Cobham
also offers a range of high, intermediate and low gain Inmarsat
satcom aeronautical antennas to support Inmarsat
SwiftBroadband, Swift 64 and classic Aero I/M services.
