In-Flight Connectivity For Additional Hawker, Falcon
Aircraft
The FAA has granted additional STCs to Duncan Aviation for the
installation of Aircell's Cabin Telecommunication Router, which
provides Wi-Fi access in the cabin for Gogo Biz Inflight Internet
service. The new STCs apply to Hawker 800XP / 850XP, 900XP, Falcon
2000, and Falcon 2000EX EASy aircraft.
Aircell's Gogo Biz Inflight Internet service provides high-speed
inflight connectivity in the cabin, allowing passengers to use
their laptops, BlackBerrys, iPhones and other Wi-Fi devices at
connection speeds of 1-3 Mbps, providing an experience similar to
that of ground-based Wi-Fi connections. The installed system
consists of an aircraft certified High-Speed Data (HSD) unit,
wireless Router and two belly-mounted antennas. The STCs were
certified under Duncan Aviation's Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC) and Major Repair and Alterations (MRA) Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA).
"We expect many more operators will be upgrading to Gogo Biz
with Wi-Fi to make the most productive use of their time in the
air," said Steve Elofson, Manager of Avionics Installations Sales
for Duncan Aviation. "Duncan Aviation is geared up to support
customers with FAA-Certified Wi-Fi solutions for a good selection
of business aircraft models. These new STCs join previous Duncan
Aviation certifications for the Falcon 900EX EASy, the Cessna 680,
the Challenger 300 and the Citation 750."
