Compact, Reliable Gear Grants Global Access to Iridium Certus 100

Flightcell's new DZMx has made the cut to offer access to improved satellite coverage when paired with the Guardian Mobility G6 and G6-S.

The combination provides "cost effective mid-band mobile satellite services" for small to medium aircraft. The DZMx is optimized for aircraft that have strict size, weight, and power requirements, giving it a nicely compact footprint all around. It acts as an all-in-one cellular and satellite voice, data, and tracking system when used alone, but with the addition of a Guardian G6 modem, the global Iridium Certus 100 network can be used. That combination drew special attention from Flightcell, who profiled the capability of the new kit in an announcement to clients and operators.

Using the Iridium Certus network, operators will see more cost-effective, higher bandwidths than previous systems. " benefits of terrestrial mobile networks and Iridium Certus 100 88-kbps bi-directional satellite services can be achieved using the Flightcell DZMx, in conjunction with the G6 or G6-S satellite terminal. The Flightcell DZMx seamlessly manages the data traffic by prioritizing the terrestrial mobile networks for higher speed and lower cost and automatically switches to Iridium Certus 100 satellite services when outside 4G/LTE mobile network coverage."
