Mobile OnAir operates like any standard international roaming service, and enables
business jet passengers to send and receive emails, text messages and calls in flight
using their own phones or smartphones. All charges are included in the user's standard
mobile phone bill, making the payment process simple and transparent. Internet OnAir
creates a Wi-Fi network in the aircraft, providing Internet access through any
Wi-Fi-enabled device, including smartphones, tablets and laptops. Falcon owners or
operators may opt for either or both options.
"For today's global-minded flyers, conveniently staying in constant contact while
flying is paramount," said Eric Monsel, Vice President of Programs for Dassault Falcon.
"The new OnAir package will allow Falcon 7X passengers to remain fully connected at all
times in the most user-friendly fashion. In-flight connectivity is key to the passenger
experience and truly differentiates one aircraft from another. At Dassault Falcon, we're
committed to providing the best solutions available to our customers."
With over 80 regulatory approvals, more than 350 roaming agreements and Inmarsat's
worldwide I4 satellite network, OnAir service is now available over 110 countries across
Africa, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, Europe, the Middle East and South America. It is
expected to be available in the U.S. in the near future.
The airborne system, designed and produced by satellite communications specialist
TriaGnoSys GmbH, consists of two lightweight units. It is fully compatible with any
SwiftBroadband-capable satcom system.
