MOST and Over-Sat Team Up to Deliver In-flight-Connectivity for Helicopters
Following the successful flight-test of the VSAT system on Helicopters, MOST and Over-Sat announced today a collaboration, targeting together the lucrative and fast-growing market of In-Flight-Connectivity (IFC) for Helicopters and Special Mission Aircrafts.
The unique IFC solution by MOST and Over-Sat provides for the first time a full-duplex, broadband satellite connectivity supporting real-time, full-motion live Video, Internet, Voice and Data for Helicopters and Aircrafts, features that are critical for a variety of flight missions (e.g. Surveillance, Search & Rescue, Disaster Recovery and more).
Historically, Helicopters and Special Mission Aircrafts had very limited alternatives for communications, using narrow band HF/VHF/UHF, short distance Cellular or Highly Expensive, pay by Byte Satellite Solutions (e.g. Inmarsat, Iridium).
Using a breakthrough technology, the new Airborne VSAT Terminal communicates with satellites through the rotor blades, so now the crews of Helicopters and Special Mission Aircrafts can enjoy the abundance of low-cost Ku Satellite capacity to deliver continuous, real-time, full-motion live Video, Voice and Data between helicopters and the Mission Control at reasonable costs, overcoming the limitations of distance, speed and high cost.
