TrueNorth Announces First Simphone Global Broadband Certification

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.
