Inmarsat Aeronautical Satellite
Communications Services
Inmarsat is a global satellite communications company operating
geostationary satellites to provide the most versatile and reliable
satellite network in the world.
SwiftBroadband
The Thrane & Thrane AVIATOR 200 system is engineered to
take advantage of the latest technologies like SwiftBroadband
for increased reliability and connectivity. The SwiftBroadband
Background Data and SwiftBroadband Low Cost Voice channel
allows users to access a shared data channel and a compressed
high quality voice channel at the same time
Smaller Antenna Means More Options
Previously, complete communications solutions have been
limited to larger aircraft due to high initial investment and large,
heavy antennas. These limitations are no longer an issue with the
innovative AVIATOR 200. The system utilizes the TT-3002A Low Gain
Jet Blade Antenna that further reduces weight and size concerns for
smaller airframes, making broadband data and high quality voice
services available to an even wider range of aircraft.
The AVIATOR 200 is an Inmarsat Class 15 (SB200)
system, supporting:
• Single Channel SwiftBroadband
• Packet Switched Services
