Rockwell Collins and ARINC Reintroduce Broadband Offering

Rockwell Collins and ARINC have agreed to reintroduce Rockwell Collins's broadband connectivity offering that will use ARINC's Ku-band satellite broadband network.

The agreement provides for Rockwell Collins to supply its eXchange airborne hardware and after sales support, while ARINC Direct will provide its SKYLink service.  ARINC will continue to provide sales and support for eXchange until the transition to Rockwell Collins is completed.

EXchange provides real time, two-way connectivity to the Internet with speeds of up to 3.5 Mbps, which when coupled with SKYLink, allows for all of today's high speed communications' capabilities.  SKYLink's service coverage currently includes North America and Europe, and North Atlantic coverage will be added soon.  ARINC plans to expand SKYLink's international coverage to the Caribbean and portions of South and Central America as well.  06-09-2007.
