Qantas to Offer Text Connectivity for All Domestic Passengers Qantas says it will allow its domestic passengers to send and receive email and SMS (short message service) text messages via their GSM (global system for mobile) phones or PDAs (personal digital assistants) later this year. The Australian airline has been evaluating the necessary technology on a B-767-300 between April 2007 and January 2008, which John Borghetti, its executive general manager, described as a "great success." AeroMobile developed the onboard system which allows mobile phones and PDAs to be used to communicate inflight without interfering with either aircraft systems or ground communication networks. It worked with Qantas and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and other agencies to ensure the system operated in accordance with Australian requirements. 03-31-2008. |
