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.
