There is a scene in the movie "Thai": Xu Zheng boarded the plane, after the flight attendant shouted for passengers to turn off their mobile phones, he still held his mobile phone to receive the map sent by the secretary, and was discovered and sneered at by his neighbor Wang Baoqiang at the last moment, attracting more people to blame
.
Under the attack of the crowd, Xu Zheng could only shut down the computer, and finally failed to receive the map
that was supposed to be downloaded.
Boarding is turned off, but behind the movie jokes also shows the helplessness of passengers
.
Now the problem that has plagued aircraft passengers will be solved, and the news that Air China provided Internet service for passengers on board the plane was spread all over the Internet, and the technical support behind this test is Inmarsat
.
by C114.
Since its founding in 1979, Inmarsat has been providing governments, businesses and other organizations with reliable voice and high-speed data communications services for a wide range of land, sea and air environments
.
With approximately 1,600 employees in more than 60 locations worldwide, they operate
in major ports and business centers on all continents.
In 2005, Inmarsat was listed on
the London Stock Exchange.
for 33 years since its establishment.
Its business is mainly divided into three segments: providing maritime security communication services, accounting for 56% of the total business sales; 18% of vehicles in remote areas of land; Aeronautical communication services were a new business, accounting for 14%, one of the fastest growing areas
.
.
Bill Peltola noted that this is now possible
with Inmarsat's new Ka-band-based satellite communications technology.
Inmarsat aeronautical communication solutions are said to be used in aircraft of all sizes, from wide-body and narrow-body, or government charters, business jets, business jets, and even helicopters.
proposed by Inmarsat.
In the future, GX will launch three satellites to achieve global coverage, the first of the three GX satellites, Inmarsat-5 F1 is scheduled to launch by the end of this year, and the assembly process of the second satellite (Inmarsat-5 F2) at the Boeing plant is nearing completion
.
Global coverage
is planned to eventually be achieved by the end of 2014.
.
First of all, the frequency range of the Ka-band is roughly 30/20GHz, which has the characteristics
of wide available bandwidth, less interference, and small device size compared with the Ku-band.
In addition, the Ka-band propagation efficiency is high and fast, while the traditional Ku-band is already very crowded
.
Several of these satellite communications analytics architectures say the Ka-band will be the future of
satellite communications.
Because most satellite ground communications use the Ku-band, its capacity is gradually insufficient, Inmarsat began to use the Ka-band to provide new options
for mobile communications such as ships and aircraft.
over traditional methods.
Bill Peltola pointed out that satellite communication data can be centrally transmitted, received, and directly connected with the satellite through the antenna, and the bandwidth can be higher, such as GX can reach 49M per second communication services
.
In fact, satellite communication and traditional communication can complement each other well, for example, if there is no mobile phone signal on the plane, passengers can turn on WiFi, connect to Ka-band satellites through WiFi, and then access the Internet
via satellite.
.
Among them, China's aviation industry is developing very rapidly, and Inmarsat looks forward to more cooperation opportunities
with Chinese airlines.
Bill Peltola said that the Ka-band ultra-high-speed mobile communication network is a good solution, and Chinese airlines have expressed great interest in this technology, hoping to provide passengers and their cabin crew with a good network connection system
.
For example, China's civil aviation has agreed to conduct relevant experimental cooperation, which will be the first time China has been authorized to provide wireless services via satellite
.
that.
" Bill Peltola said
.
In addition to the last test to support Air China's aircraft wireless communication, Inmarsat has cooperated with China Satcom and other traditional operators, and is also in contact with traditional operators such as China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom
.
Inmarsat is also open to potential competitors
.
Bill Peltola said China is pushing for its own Beidou satellite navigation system, and Inmarsat has chosen to work
with it.
He said that in fact, the two are complementary, China's Beidou is mainly navigation, the bandwidth of voice data is relatively narrow, and Inmarsat's GX has a wider
bandwidth in this regard.
A phone based on a collaboration between the two is in development
.
In the future, fishermen on surface fishing boats can use this terminal to position themselves through the Beidou system, and use Inmarsat's GX channel to make calls or surf the Internet
.
.
Based on the installation of equipment, antennas, satellites and other hardware equipment, the price should be higher
than traditional communication.
He also said that eventually airlines may offer packages (packages) to provide services to passengers, which are not too expensive, and even airlines can monetize advertising and provide users for free
