[Satellite TODAY 03-27-12] Scandinavian Avionics has integrated and distributed OnAir/TriaGnoSys in-flight connectivity solutions on a Tupolev VIP jet based in Russia, the companies announced March 26.
The turnkey solution aims to allow passengers to use their mobile devices for calls, text messaging, email and access to the Internet. Scandinavian Avionics said that while the first system was integrated with Thrane & Thrane’s A700 unit, the offering also has the flexibility to be used with any Inmarsat SwiftBroadband, Ku- or Ka-band satcom system and is now available for a full range of jets.
“OnAir is a key player in the ever-expanding inflight connectivity market and we work hard to ensure our solution is available across the world, and for as many aircraft types as possible,” OnAir CEO Ian Dawkins said in a statement. “To do that, we need to remain flexible, agile and innovative and the establishment of such relationships help us to reach as many VIP/government aircraft operators as possible. The connectivity solution also provides a clear deployment path to Global Xpress, Inmarsat’s next-generation global Ka-band solution.”
