Aviator 300 System Will Bring Worldwide E-mail & Internet
Capabilities to Cessna’s Three Largest Aircraft
Aircell announced Monday that, beginning in 2012, Cessna
Aircraft Company will offer Aircell’s Aviator 300 system as
an option on new Citation XLS+, Citation Sovereign and Citation X
business aircraft.
The Aviator 300 will be fully integrated with the Aircell Axxess
cabin system, seamlessly delivering a robust, global inflight
connectivity experience. Passengers and crew can send and receive
e-mail with attachments, surf the web, access a corporate VPN and
more, using their own Wi-Fi-enabled laptops, tablets, electronic
flight bags, and smartphones. They can also place and receive voice
calls using integrated cabin handsets.
“The demand for inflight connectivity continues to
increase rapidly – it’s quickly becoming a vital
element of the travel experience,” said Mark Paolucci, Senior
Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Cessna Aircraft Company.
“With today’s announcement, we’re proud to offer
our midsize-aircraft customers a complete menu of inflight
connectivity services straight from the factory.”
The Aviator 300 is an ideal solution for affordable, global
connectivity,” said John Wade, Aircell’s Executive Vice
President & General Manager, Business Aviation Services.
“Aircell products are now available on nearly every aircraft
in Cessna’s turbine product line, and we’re proud to
extend our longstanding relationship with this agreement,”
concluded Wade.
Aircell is displaying its entire inflight connectivity range at
EBACE 2011 in Geneva this week, and they say there will be a
significant number of aircraft on static that have one or more
Aircell connectivity systems aboard, allowing attendees to see them
up close.
