LYNGBY, Denmark - Introducing its highly-regarded
AVIATOR portfolio of airborne systems at the Singapore Airshow for
the first time, leading satellite communications supplier Cobham
SATCOM is highlighting the specific capabilities of the
ground-breaking new AVIATOR S series.
Cobham recently expanded its range of satellite communication
systems with the announcement of the new S series family of
products, adding to the well-established line ranging from the
AVIATOR 200 to the AVIATOR 700D.
Designed for future data-connected air transport aircraft
ranging from regional turboprops to large jets, the new terminal
and antenna product family reflects Cobham's commitment to the
'connected aircraft'. The AVIATOR S series will support a wide
range of communication applications in both the cockpit and cabin,
including cockpit voice dialling, in-flight calling and internet
browsing.
The development of the new family of products is being driven by
specifications formulated by the Air Transport
Air-to-Ground-Communications working group, along with anticipated
requirements for safety services and network domain separation for
air traffic control. The versatile S series will allow secure
data communication for aircraft operation, maintenance and
management services, as Cobham prepares for the technology shift to
Internet Protocol (IP) data-connected aircraft in the future.
The first system to be made available will be the AVIATOR 200S -
a unique, compact two LRU (Line Replacement Unit) satellite
communication system which will exploit the unique features of the
Inmarsat SwiftBroadband packet data communication system.
Walther Thygesen, vice president of Cobham SATCOM, said:
"Cobham's AVIATOR S series will significantly benefit aircraft
operations by offering an extremely compact LRU and antenna
configuration for safety services over SwiftBroadband, designed to
the latest specifications for data segregation on the flight
deck."
Cobham is working closely with Inmarsat to bring the new
generation of airborne satellite communication to the market in the
near future following final safety services approval of
SwiftBroadband.
The AVIATOR S series forms part of Cobham SATCOM's comprehensive
range of advanced AVIATOR satcom systems which provide simultaneous
quality voice and high-speed data communications for cockpit and
cabin for air transport, business jets and even unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs). The AVIATOR SwiftBroadband systems are easy to
install and provide connectivity for applications including email,
internet browsing, voice calls, data transmission, ISDN, smartphone
connectivity and streaming video.
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.
