ARINC Offering Slimmer Ku-Band Satellite Broadband Antenna ARINC if offering a new, slimmer Ku-band antenna designed for its SKYLink satellite broadband service that should fit a broader range of airframes. ViaSat supplies the avionics for the SKYLink system and is conducting the modification and certification. Only structural changes were made to the existing design, which has been used successfully for more than two years. The base mount footprint and support arm profiles were minimized, leaving performance specifications unchanged. According to ARINC, the new antenna will fit the radomes of Dassault Falcon 50s, 900s and 2000s, as well as Bombardier BD100s, Challengers, and the Global series. No operational changes are associated with the new design, which has the same connection speeds as the first-generation SKYLink antenna. The antenna package is currently undergoing DO 160E testing which is expected to be complete in June. 05-24-2007. |
