Introduction to Thales FlytLINK Airtime Connectivity
Thales FlytLINK Airtime is a revolutionary service designed to offer airborne connectivity and communication with global coverage through the Iridium network. This service, providing Certus services, ensures a reliable and resilient connection in all weather conditions, catering to both civilian and military aircraft, including business jets, helicopters, RPAS, and small drones. The versatility of Thales FlytLINK Airtime supports various mission types, from business operations to special missions.
Iridium Network's Reliability
The backbone of Thales FlytLINK Airtime service lies in Iridium's Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) network, featuring 66 crosslinked satellites. This network enables access to voice and data services globally, guaranteeing weather-resilient and reliable connectivity even in challenging conditions like fog and rain. Iridium's L-Band spectrum ensures that pilots on any aircraft can benefit from global cockpit connectivity, even when under moving rotor blades.
Seamless Operation with FlytLINK Airtime
Thales FlytLINK Airtime plans operate independently of the terminal, simplifying the connection process to any Iridium Certus® Aviation approved equipment. Whether using portable platforms with small modems or commercial aviation-based ARINC 600 2MCU systems like Thales FlytLINK™ Satcom, users can quickly set up reliable connectivity. These plans are compatible with various Iridium modems, including Midband Certus 100, Broadband Certus 200, and Certus 700, offering bandwidth efficiencies tailored to users' requirements.
Flexible Data & Voice Plans for Aerial Platforms
Thales FlytLINK Airtime provides a range of flexible plans suitable for airplanes, helicopters, and UAVs. Users can choose from shared data pools, monthly plans starting at US$ 64, offering scalable data packages and voice services, as well as flexible and extended plans for short-term and long-term commitments. These plans cater to varying data consumption needs, ensuring cost-effectiveness and tailored solutions.
Secure Ground Infrastructure and Support
Thales guarantees a secure ground infrastructure to support the delivery of Airtime services, backed by a dedicated 24/7 customer support team. Customers benefit from the ability to set thresholds for over-usage notifications, enabling them to manage consumption effectively. Additionally, plans and data pools can be easily adjusted during the contract period to accommodate changing data requirements, ensuring uninterrupted service.
