ST 4300 Is A Single-Box Solution For Global Voice, Narrowband Data And Cockpit Data Link Services
Gogo's business aviation group, Aircell, has unveiled the ST 4300 – a new in-flight communications system for business aircraft.
The ST 4300 combines voice, narrowband data and cockpit data link services into a single unit. Available with one, two or three Iridium voice/narrowband data channels, plus one dedicated Iridium data channel, the system allows business aircraft operators to configure cabin and flight deck communications based on their specific needs and budgets. It provides global service coverage – on the ground and in the air, at all altitudes and latitudes – including the polar regions.
In the future, the ST 4300 is expected to be eligible for FANS (Future Air Navigation System) certification. FANS technologies allow flight crews and air traffic controllers to exchange safety-sensitive flight information – such as clearances, requests and position reporting – via digital data link. This capability is becoming mandatory in a growing number of world regions.
"The ST 4300 is a lightweight, modular communications system that can fill a wide range of cabin and cockpit communications needs," said John Wade, Aircell's Executive Vice President and General Manager. "The system's scalability supports installation as a standalone solution or as one element in an aircraft's comprehensive communications suite," he concluded.
Additional ST 4300 Features
- Integrated 802.11b/g/n Wireless Access Point (WAP)
- PBX functionality for a full-featured voice experience
- Compatibility with the Gogo OnePhone – Aircell's newest cabin handset
- Reduced installation weight and box count through combined functionality
- Availability as a standalone system or paired with systems that provide in-flight Internet service, such as Gogo Biz and SwiftBroadband
Initial ST 4300 system shipments are expected to begin in June 2014. Pricing and availability of the system's FANS capabilities will be announced at a later date.
