Awarded STC For Installation Of SatCom System
Hawker Beechcraft announced Monday at NBAA 2007 the new Hawker
900XP midsize and Hawker 750 light-midsize jets will enter service
with the option to be equipped with AirCell's AxxessTM II satellite
communications system. The option was developed for the airplane
through a supplemental type certificate (STC) by Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation's Designated Alteration Station at their Little Rock,
AR. facility.
The system will have future upgrade capabilities to AirCell's
broadband wireless connection when that system becomes available
sometime next year.
"Adding AirCell's Axxess II
satellite communications system as an option to the Hawker 750 and
Hawker 900XP equips these segment-leading aircraft with the
communications technology our customers need to remain connected
while in flight," said Brad Hatt, president Commercial Sales. "This
is the first STC by our new designated alteration station in Little
Rock, and I anticipate we will see many more STC's developed to
provide the types of communications, entertainment and cabin
amenities our customers require in their new Hawker aircraft."
AirCell Axxess is a family of latest-generation, multi-channel,
satcom systems designed for medium-to-large business aircraft. With
its "network neutral" design philosophy, AirCell Axxess equips
aircraft with a modular, flexible cabin architecture that serves
the operator's needs today, and provides the ability to upgrade as
new technologies and links - such as AirCell broadband - become
available in the future.
AirCell Axxess comes standard with two built-in channels of
Iridium satellite communications for quality, worldwide voice
services with full PBX functionality. Also standard are AirCell's
new, FAA-certified handsets with large, color displays - an
industry first - as well as advanced noise reduction technology and
standard ear bud/headset jacks for clear, quiet calling.
Wireless capabilities include a full 802.11b/g Wi-Fi "hotspot"
which, when paired with a broadband connection, such as Inmarsat or
AirCell broadband (2008), can be used to operate personal laptops,
PDA's and other Wi-Fi devices in the cabin. Using integrated
expansion ports, up to two additional Iridium channels can be added
to AirCell Axxess to suit an operator's needs. Additional system
capabilities are added regularly.
