The developments follow Inmarsat’s launch of the SB X-Stream service, which has enabled Thrane & Thrane to significantly enhance the data streaming capability of its HGA (High Gain Antenna) SwiftBroadband solutions. By using the new SB X-Stream service, users will be able to stream data at rates above 256Kbps at an elevation of above 10 degrees. “This latest development represents another leap forward for the aeronautical communications industry. We are experiencing growing demand for in-flight data streaming services for applications such as real-time video streaming from the aircraft to the ground. The launch of the Inmarsat SB X-Stream service supports our ongoing commitment to provide customers with cutting-edge communications technology and has enabled us to increase the speed at which AVIATOR 350 and AVIATOR 700 users can stream data,” comments Kim Gram, Vice President, Thrane & Thrane’s Aeronautical Business Unit. The Inmarsat SB X-Stream service provides streaming data at rates above 256Kbps, enabling higher quality of service and more data to be streamed at a faster rate, supporting a wide-range of applications within business, military and government sectors. Thrane & Thrane’s AVIATOR 350 and AVIATOR 700 solutions use HGAs to provide users with full ‘broadband-in-the-sky’ functionality which includes an extensive range of voice, data and video services. The solutions will incorporate the new Inmarsat SB X-Stream service with immediate effect as no change in hardware for existing SwiftBroadband approved products is required. Thrane & Thrane introduced the AVIATOR brand across its SwiftBroadband product portfolio in April 2010. The existing Aero-SB Lite offering became the Thrane & Thrane AVIATOR 300 with Low Gain Antenna (LGA) and the AVIATOR 350 with High Gain Antenna (HGA), while the flagship Aero-SB+ became the AVIATOR 700. AVIATOR, which has quickly become a brand name synonymous with the power of Inmarsat SwiftBroadband and innovative SwiftBroadband terminal technology for business and commercial aircraft communication, now covers Thrane & Thrane’s entire SwiftBroadband product portfolio.
