Passengers Can Inexpensively Share Access
Blue Sky Network -- a global
logistics solution provider for two-way linking and managing
transportation assets via satellite -- announced Wednesday the
introduction of its new Wireless Airborne Router for managing all
wireless and wired network needs inside an aircraft.
Using the router, aircraft passengers can inexpensively share
access to Blue Sky Network SATCOM data offerings, or plug
wired-Ethernet devices into a built-in 4-port duplex hub. They can
even use notebook computers to play multi-player games.
The Blue Sky Network Wireless Airborne Router offers a series of
security features, including 128-bit WEP encryption, and supports
industrial-strength Wi-Fi Protected Access™ (WPA), so all
data is secure. It can also serve as a DHCP server and supports VPN
pass through. Additionally, pilots can use the router to exchange
files with their Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs).
"The Wireless Airborne Router is very unique, as it gives users
the ability to function in the air as they do at home or in the
office with similar equipment," said Jon Gilbert, CEO of Blue Sky
Network. "With the addition of this router to our product
portfolio, we are able to offer customers a broader range of SATCOM
usage for their in-flight data communication needs. The price is
compelling for this empowering capability."
The router is installed using two flexible antennas for enhanced
wireless signal to ensure total cabin coverage. Antennas can be
articulated to 90-degree angles or pointed straight for space
savings. Standard antenna connectors allow for external wired
antennas to increase signal coverage.
The Wireless Airborne Router meets DO160E EMI, RMI criteria as
well as the IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u and IEE 802.11g standards.
