Feature Color Displays, Active Noise Cancellation
At last week's AEA Conference, AirCell announced a series of
all-new, next-generation handsets for its popular ST 3100 satcom
system. Available this summer, the new handset family offers a host
of new, user-friendly features not found with previous airborne
telecommunication systems.
"A phone system’s handset is the user’s link to the
outside world," commented Jack Blumenstein, AirCell Chairman &
CEO. "With these new handsets, operators have the chance to make a
huge difference in their airborne communications -- for very little
money -- with a very simple upgrade."
"Since we’ve designed them to be drop-in replacements,
operators that wish to upgrade can do so in less than 5 minutes,"
Blumenstein added.
- Summary of Key Features for New ST 3100 Handsets:
- Full color display with intuitive, graphical menus
- Active noise cancelling for clear, quiet calling
- Integrated headset/earbud jack
- An internal phone book for number storage and
speed-dialing
- A number of user-customizable settings
- The new handsets are a direct, plug-in replacement for existing
ST 3100 handsets
Scheduled for
certification and first shipments this summer, the new handsets
will be available in three colors (Midnight Black, Stone Gray and
Natural Beige) and four styles (ranging from permanent cradles to
modular plugs) to tastefully and efficiently suit any cabin
application. Retail pricing and upgrade programs will be announced
at a later date.
The AirCell ST 3100 system is standard or optional equipment on
nearly two dozen OEM aircraft programs worldwide. It operates on
the Iridium Satellite System, providing pilots and passengers
all-altitude, all-latitude coverage throughout the world.
