Tail-Mounted Connectivity Solution Certified To Provide High-Throughput Ku-Band Connectivity
The FAA has granted an STC to Astronics Corporation for its next generation FliteStream T-310 SATCOM connectivity solution for business aircraft. The agency also granted Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) for installation onto a Gulfstream GIV-SP business aircraft.
The FliteStream T-310 is currently offered in partnership with Satcom Direct (SD) as part of its SD Xperience end-to-end solution. The FliteStream T-310 SATCOM solution includes the next generation iDirect CX780 modem, providing compatibility with both Ku-band wide beam and HTS spot beam satellite networks.
"This new product variant will provide an improved business aviation connectivity experience to passengers, making an ‘office-in-the-sky’ dream a reality," said Matthew Harrah, President of Astronics AeroSat. "We look forward to continuing and expanding our relationships with Satcom Direct and Intelsat. We expect the FliteStream T-310 will be an important part of the SD Xperience package now and in the future.”
Astronics AeroSat's FliteStream T-Series includes its patented Rexolite Lens technology, which creates the most efficient, reliable and highest-performing SATCOM antenna system available. The FliteStream T-Series provides high-speed internet & IPTV in a single antenna.
Astronics AeroSat keeps people connected no matter where they fly. For over a decade, Astronics AeroSat has provided fuselage- and tail-mounted SATCOM solutions for general aviation, business aviation, commercial transport, VVIP and military aircraft around the world.
