Worldwide Business Broadband System Certified On Gulfstream
IV
TrueNorth Avionics received the initial supplemental type
certification (STC) of its Simphone (pronounced
‘symphony’) Global Broadband System Thursday. Featuring
proven hardware powered by Cobham technology, the Simphone Global
Broadband (SGBB) system provides enterprise-level Internet data
service throughout the flight regime, including on the ramp and at
altitudes below 10,000 ft AGL.
The SGBB configuration also featured the first use of
Cobham’s new IGA 5001 intermediate gain antenna. All sales,
installation and certification for this project were performed by
Mid-Canada Mod Center, Mississauga, Ontario, on a client’s
Gulfstream IV aircraft. The system included TrueNorth’s
revolutionary Simphone OpenCabin airborne telecommunications
system, which uses a suite of enterprise-level software
applications (‘apps’) to bring advanced voice and
data-management capabilities to business aviation.
“Just as Simphone OpenCabin solves the problems of
substandard voice and data management, our Simphone Global
Broadband System lets business aircraft passengers use the Internet
anywhere their aircraft flies,” said Mark van Berkel,
TrueNorth’s president.
“Having now completed and certified several projects
incorporating TrueNorth’s Simphone product line, we have
found the technology, support and ease of use first rate. Their
Global Broadband application is following the success we have had
in the past and provides our customers a worldwide solution for
their business operations in the sky,” said Bill Arsenault,
VP of Mid-Canada Mod Center.
