Helicopters
Ensure unbroken connectivity and real-time intelligence sharing, even when flying in remote areas or deep behind enemy lines
 
Maritime Patrol
Support maritime patrol aircraft with robust inflight communications that enable crews to coordinate anti-submarine warfare (ASW), relay Automatic Identification System (AIS) data, and transmit real-time intelligence to ground stations and other maritime assets
 
Multi-mission Transport Aircraft
Enable resilient inflight communications for multi-mission transport aircraft, supporting secure data exchange, real-time coordination, and uninterrupted connectivity across global operations. Aircraft can seamlessly shift between tactical airlift, medical evacuation, and command-and-control operations without losing vital data, voice, or video connectivity.
 
Unmanned Aircraft
Provide advanced connectivity solutions for unmanned aircraft, enabling dependable command, control, and data transmission for beyond-line-of-sight operations and mission success
Civil Solutions

Civil Government


 
Aerial Fire Fighting
Enable incident commanders with direct communication to aerial reconnaissance operators in the sky with live chat and media sharing. Airborne operators can efficiently communicate the fire situation to establish firelines and firebreaks.
 
Border Security
Connect remote border outposts, patrol vessels, and aircraft to government agencies for immigration and customs control, security checks, and general operations. Monitor remote unmanned borders with UAVs and video surveillance.
 
Government Heads of State
VVIP aircraft stay connected with secure voice, email, internet, and videoconferencing capabilities. Always on in‑flight connectivity support VIP safety and timely decision‑making.
 
Law Enforcement
Deliver secure communications through secure air-to-ground networks that can be utilized by police units and tactical drones. These systems combine traditional VHF/UHF radios with encrypted cellular connections and satellite uplinks to transmit real-time voice, video, and GPS data between the aircraft and ground command centers.
 
MEDEVAC
Connect teams on the ground and in aircraft with each other and coordination centers when terrestrial networks are unavailable. Share real-time information by voice, messaging, email, internet, and live video using quickly deployable satellite devices to help speed up response and save lives.

Cockpit Services (FlightDeck Freedom)

Delivers continuous data link and secure messaging channels for cockpit crews to receive vital updates, reducing radio congestion during critical phases of flight

Route Alerts
Automatically alert crews and operations when hazardous weather could impact flights well before the actual event occurs, improving diversion planning and enhancing flight crew situational awareness
Security Alerts
Provide real-time notifications of potentially dangerous situations and events that can restrict travel. Includes monitoring of major security events that are present at or around the destination and or departure location.
Geofencing
Create a virtual boundary around a specific area on a map. When an aircraft enters or leaves this area, the geofence automatically sends you an alert or triggers an action. Geonotifications can be tailored to specific aircraft or proximity-giving you advance notice when aircraft is approaching or exiting a defined area.
