Denmark-based
satellite communications service provider Satcom1 is currently
putting on a show of its satcom capabilities in China, one of its
fastest growing markets.
The
large intermediate-gain and high-gain satellite antennas offered by Satcom1
enable high-speed communication between aircraft and satellites
aboard government, military, and VVIP aircraft and large-cabin
business jets
Satcom1
configures and supports satellite communications equipment, sets up
airtime services and billing, and taps its very own in-flight
services and software to offer value-added capabilities to its
customers. The Company offers the capability to aggregate
extreme/high-gain satellite channels on Inmarsat SwiftBroadband
satellite broadband systems. This delivers nearly double the peak
speeds to VVIP customers and those who can afford the $35 per minute
cost. A similar but cheaper service that bonds standard
SwiftBroadband channels is also in the works for cost-conscious
business jet operators.
Satcom1
and its business partner MCN can activate satellite communications
services for Chinese aircraft thanks to a legal agreement with the
Chinese government.
