Thales's Topflight Passenger Satcom Ready for Use Thales pronounced its Topflight Satcom ready for commercial use on Airbus' fleet of single-aisle passenger jets, following its successful testing during two five-hour flights across Europe. As a key part of its connectivity offering for OnAir, Airbus developed what is called the Air Line Network Architecture, which will allow passengers access to mobile services onboard - including personal phones - just as they would on the ground, through TopFlight's satcom devices and Inmarsat's satellite network. Through an on-board mobile base station, the OnAir system essentially creates an on-board GSM (global system for mobile) network that routes calls and data via Inmarsat's I-4 geo-stationary satellites to and from networks on the ground. 06-23-2007. |
