Aircell Partners with Formation for Broadband Hardware Components

AirCell has partnered with Formation Inc. to incorporate two hardware components into its inflight broadband communications system.

The applicable hardware includes AirCell's CPU (central processor unit) and a custom-built CWAP (cabin wireless access point). The CWAP provides 802.11a and 802.11b/g radios to be used by passengers with Wi-Fi-enabled devices such as laptops and smartphones.  A typical commercial aircraft configuration would include one CPU and two CWAPs per plane, in addition to other hardware including air-to-ground modem and antennas.

AirCell will begin testing Formation's components as part of partnerships with American Airlines and Virgin America in early 2008.

Formation is based in Moorestown, New Jersey. 11-24-2007.
