Installation Approved For Bombardier Global Express
Aircraft
Innotech Aviation of Montreal has received an STC from
Transport Canada for its I-Ku (pronounced I-Q) broadband network
installation on the Bombardier Global Express series of business
jets. The system allows worldwide data and voice connectivity, with
speeds reaching 10 Mbps. The current industry achievement is
approximately 2 Mbps.
Using proprietary software applications developed by Innotech,
either retrofit or 'green aircraft' installation will allow
simultaneous access to video conferencing, live TV, on-demand
movies, Voice over IP (VOIP), Voice Wi-Fi and the Internet. In
conjunction with ViaSat of Carlsbad, California, the system uses
Ku-band satellite networks to provide worldwide coverage and larger
bandwidth capabilities.
Innotech director, sales and marketing, Tony Rawlinson said,
I-Ku makes the Global Express series truly a connected-worldwide
aircraft. Now, with I-Ku, you can have that connection, anywhere.
Laptop, Blackberry, iPhone, iPad - they all connect to this system,
simultaneously. I-Ku contributes significantly to the efficiency of
all those who use aircraft for vital business operations.
Bombardier Global Express
"We continue to lead the industry in the development of targeted
technologies for the business aviation community; advances that
truly keep pace with the development of long-range aircraft. I-Ku
is just the latest of these frontiers."
The I-Ku system can be installed in approximately 10 days,
depending on the aircraft configuration, and represents a minimal
weight increase of about 80 lbs.
