Before the 1970s, civil aircraft relied on aeronautical shortwave and VHF radio communication for air-to-ground communication and air traffic management, particularly over oceans and remote areas. The introduction of satellite navigation and communication systems revolutionized air-to-ground communication, enabling global connectivity for air traffic control and communication services. Aviation satellite communication is categorized into cockpit satellite communication, which primarily uses the L-band, and cabin satellite communication, which utilizes the Ka and Ku bands.
With advancements in satellite manufacturing and millimeter-wave technology, airborne satellite communication has progressed towards the Ka/Ku frequency bands. SATPRO’s Ka/Ku band broadband satellite communication system offers high throughput, low cost, broad coverage, and compact terminals. This system ensures high-speed, reliable, real-time transmission of aircraft health data and cabin broadband, enhancing flight safety, enabling real-time fault analysis, improving dispatch rates, and enhancing passenger experience, positioning itself as a future growth area and market leader.
