Viasat Aviation’s Post

Transforming ATM: Viasat's Joel Klooster on the future of connectivity With the number of aircraft in operation set to double between 2022 and 2042, the industry must take action to ensure the already congested airspace can support this scale up. Joel Klooster, Senior Vice President, Aircraft Operations & Safety, Viasat shared his insights on the future of air traffic management (ATM) and the critical role of connectivity in delivering airspace modernisation. https://wp.me/pfgHKA-2RV #ATWEU

Joel Klooster mentions the doubling of projected aircraft growth in the next 20 years and how communication congestion is already happening. This concept also affects how the documentation of these aircraft are going to be handled. We are also already seeing issues with our current manual document handling processes. Lets start working on modernizing the system now to meet the demand of the future. #digitalization #BtB #innovation

North America’s connected regional jets, which have long been reliant on Air-to-Ground connectivity, are beginning to shift over to SATCOM. ✈ This trend is being enabled by the emergence of flat panel antennas which offer airlines a low-profile, low-weight option for smaller aircraft. ✅ Hughes recently announced it would equip over 300 regional jets for Delta Air Lines, using ThinKom Solutions, Inc.’s Ka1717 antenna. 🏢 Intelsat also announced a new deal with American Airlines, with the satellite operator planning to install a new electronically steered antenna (manufactured by Ball Aerospace, integrated by STELLAR BLU Solutions) on around 500 aircraft. Valour Consultancy expects similar announcements to follow in 2024. 🛬 If you'd like to enquire further on this trend, please contact a member of our IFC team 👉 https://lnkd.in/dAnUnxAs More info can also be found in our new report on the Future of IFC 👉 https://lnkd.in/d_n_U-8c #inflightconnectivity #IFC #avgeeks

Who needs a thriller when you've got government reauthorization acts to read on patio enjoying a beautiful sunset? Buckle up for some edge-of-your-seat action as we explore the exciting world of... satellite voice communication for air traffic control! The 2024 Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act also specifies and allocates funding for an FAA program to evaluate #SATVOICE as a sole means for delivering air traffic control messages in remote areas. FAA monitored performance testing will start late this calendar year and when combined with a successful PARC CWG effort, like what L2 Aviation supported for the first Inmarsat SwiftBroadband Safety STC and operational approvals, will allow airlines to remove one or both HF systems from the aircraft when using capable dual dissimilar SATCOM. This is a major step towards modernizing air traffic control communications and improving operational efficiency! Operators, please make your thoughts known for how SATVOICE will benefit your operations to Data Comm Program Manager Kathy Torrence to help expedite this project forward. I will post Reauth section 613 as separate comment below, due to LinkedIn's post space limits. #aviation #satvoice #faa #l2aviation #LRCS #AC20-150B Iridium Inmarsat Viasat Viasat Aviation Collins Aerospace Honeywell Honeywell Aerospace Technologies Thales Aerospace L2 Aviation

As the aviation industry continues to soar to new heights, it's crucial to have robust and efficient communication systems in place. The ATC frequency range serves as the backbone of seamless communication between air traffic controllers and pilots, ensuring safe and efficient operations. POLOMARCONI.IT SPA VHF Starpoint Combiners are engineered to enhance performance and reliability in the ATC frequency range. Here are some key benefits they bring to the table:                                                              1) Increased Capacity: by effectively combining multiple VHF frequencies, the combiners optimize spectrum utilization, allowing for more simultaneous communication channels within the ATC range. This leads to enhanced airspace capacity and improved air traffic management. 2) Superior Interference Mitigation: VHF Starpoint Combiners are designed to minimize interference from external sources, guaranteeing uninterrupted and reliable communication between ATC centers and aircraft. 3) Seamless Integration: these combiners seamlessly integrate with existing ATC infrastructure, minimizing downtime and costly equipment replacements. Upgrading to VHF Starpoint Combiners is a hassle-free process that delivers instant improvements.

VHF Comm availability in oceanic/ non-radar airspace will certainly be a positive development utilizing satellite based ADS-B data for spacing.

Installations of GEO-HTS Ku- and Ka-bands are set to rise due to the demand for seamless services and user-friendly experiences, rather than specific technical requirements at high altitudes. This upward trend is expected to persist across all regions and aircraft types: https://bit.ly/3ThCgsW #Satellite #SatelliteInsights
