LINCOLN, NEB. — Duncan Aviation was among the first to install a broadband system in a business jet, allowing passengers to use their laptops to access the internet and e-mail. Since that first installation in early 2009, Duncan Aviation has installed many more systems in seven aircraft models.
"Broadband capability has been in demand for a long time, and it has just recently become a reality for business jet owners," said Joe Spring, Avionics Sales Representative. "We have been working with our OEM partners on the development and installation of these systems, and we are very excited to make in-flight internet access a reality for our customers. Although Wi-Fi capability has only been certified in a few aircraft, we are on the path with our OEM partners to make in-flight Wi-Fi a reality for most major business aircraft models in the near future."
Duncan Aviation has recently delivered these HSD communications solutions for broadband:
Aircell Axxess & ATG 4000 High Speed Internet System
Aircell Axxess and ATG 4000 High Speed Internet Systems have been installed in a Falcon50, Falcon 50EX, a Falcon 900, a Falcon 2000, a Gulfstream GIV, a Challenger 601 and Hawker 800 and a Citation 560 Ultra.
The Axxess system coupled with the ATG 4000 provide worldwide Iridium voice telephone service and broadband data in the continental United States. This new system is in demand from business aviation operators and new orders are being fulfilled according to when orders are received.
EMS eNFusion HSD-400 SatCom
EMS eNFusion HSD-400 SatCom has been installed in a Bombardier Challenger 601-3R.
This installation provides one of the first Challenger 601s to be upgraded with true Inmarsat SwiftBroadband capability, which allows passengers to use their personal Wi-Fi devices, including notebook computers, BlackBerry devices, iPhones and other popular data communications tools, in the cabin during flight. This upgrade is also available for the Gulfstream GIV and GV.
