Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) connectivity is provided by optional Satellite Communication (SatCom) links. S-PLANE supplies Inmarsat-compatible L and K band SatCom link equipment and the data services (background IP and Streaming) required to keep aircraft connected to ground controllers. This functionality is backed up by L band Iridium telemetry services to ensure that aircraft remain connected, always! LOSCom and SatCom are integrated and managed to ensure seamless, uninterrupted communication. Communication Solution management is performed using S-PLANE’s Airborne Data Terminal (ADT) and Ground Data Terminal (GDT) equipment.
