Panasonic Avionics expands satellite services in Australia with new ASC capacity


Having completed its commercial agreement with Australian Satellite Communications (ASC) to lease an entire transponder's worth of additional capacity on the Eutelsat 172A satellite, Panasonic Avionics Corporation is merely awaiting imminent approval from the appropriate regulatory body before offering expanded satellite services to Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania.

The South Pacific Beam of the Eutelsat 172A satellite will provide new capacity for Panasonic's satellite services. The ASC will handle uplinking and downlinking from its Adelaide satellite Teleport.

Panasonic's in-flight Global Communications Service includes eXConnect satellite broadband, eXPhone mobile phone, and eXTV satellite TV.

eXConnect supports a broad range of passenger and crew applications. Its two-way high broadband connectivity can achieve up to 50 Mbps, and enables web access, voice, data, and real-time monitoring and transmission of airline operational data.

eXPhone is offered alongside in-flight mobile phone technology from AeroMobile. Passengers can keep in contact with loved ones and stay on top of work during flights through calls, texts, emails, browsing and use of applications. They can easily access eXPhone mobile data through mobile, Smartphone, and BlackBerry, as well as GSM-enabled tablets and laptops

Finally, the eXTV television network offers in-flight television programming to aircraft plying the world's airspace. The high-quality satellite TV content comes live and uninterrupted, and offers both global channels and regional channels.
