Satcom to display top-end router at Dubai Airshow

DUBAI, November 8, 2015

Satcom Direct, leading provider of satellite solutions for flight deck and cabin communications, will display a gold version of its exclusive Satcom Direct Router (SDR) at Dubai Air Show opening today (November 8).

The SDR weighs in at less than ten pounds (5.5 kg) and provides a platform that enhances in-flight connectivity for the business aviation community, a statement said.

It offers a suite of speed and user experience-improving enhancements including GlobalVT, SkyBond and Jet ConneX, all of which the team will be showcasing on booth 1938.

The GlobalVT service works through the on board router enabling passengers to use their own personal smartphone and number to make and receive calls, send and receive messages using their own contacts, whilst clearly displaying caller identity.

All these functions work at any altitude, anywhere in the world. SkyBond facilitates the fastest in-flight data speeds currently available worldwide enabling real-time communications applications. Passengers can stream video, music, or use video conferencing, in-flight, whenever and wherever they fly. The router can also integrate with any SATCOM system to enhance cabin communications, on-board cabin management systems, in-flight data collection and flight tracking.

The SDR already interfaces with existing networks, and has been designed to work with future networks including Inmarsat’s latest Ka-Band Global Xpress satellite communications service for business aviation, Jet ConneX.

The Jet ConneX platform enables an even greater number of functions including the Satcom Direct’s exclusive private network services, which provide a secure environment for passenger’s internet traffic.

Dubai Airshow runs until November 12 at Dubai World Central. – TradeArabia News Service
