WAEA: Aircell adds to High Speed Internet products
Aircell has launched its new ATG 5000 High Speed Internet unit for the business aviation market.
The system delivers high speed internet service via the Aircell Network in “an affordable and lightweight package”, specifically designed for aircraft operators which do not require the capabilities of the Aircell Axxess cabin system.
Aircell says its High Speed Internet is the “only solution in business aviation that provides a true high speed internet experience that equals what passengers are accustomed to on the ground”.
A complete ATG 5000-based High Speed Internet package includes an ATG 5000 High Speed Internet LRU (11 lb), two belly-mounted blade antennas (1.25 lb each) and an optional cabin telecommunications router (4 lb). Wired or wireless (Wi-Fi) in-cabin connection options are available. Full certification and first shipments of the new ATG 5000 unit are scheduled for December 2009.
In addition to the exclusive Aircell High Speed Internet system for the continental US, Aircell is offering its satellite-based SwiftBroadband solution for global service. Aircell’s SwiftBroadband product is powered by Thrane & Thrane.
