      Stratos, a Bethesda, Md.-based provider of satellite communications, has formed a partnership with Satcom Direct to provide Inmarsat Swift64 to the U.S. and Canadian governments and the business aviation market. Swift64 is a high-speed data ISDN service that enables data connectivity for in-flight communications.

      Satcom Direct, a provider of aeronautical satellite communications, will package its Global One Number service, which combines aeronautical satellite and terrestrial communications systems into one 10-digit number, with Stratos Swift64. With Global One Number, the same one number can reach all of an aircraft’s satellite and cellular channels- including Swift64 ISDN-anywhere in the world.
