come to see our MIJET family airborne satellite based ku connectivity at WAEA 09, Starling provides significant technological and financial advantages to airlines who seek a competitive edge by offering their passengers In flight connectivity access: internet, email, VoIP, VoD, mobile phone. passengers are always seeking ways to maximize their travel time, and Starling places this in their reach with affordable broadband communications aboard. A 2008 InStat study noted that 31% of business travelers carry more than one cell phone, laptop or other electronic device when they’re on the road. Of course, it's not all business. Travelers can play online games or download music to fill their time. Leveraging broadband technology makes passengers' time their own. Designed for airborne Starling's technology offers several key advantages. Its proprietary Coherent Multi Panel Antennas (CoMPATM) split a large dish antenna into multiple flat-panel antenna. This provides a very low profile antenna that does not detract from the plane's aerodynamic design while ensuring highest performances via satellite. Leverage Starling's Ku-band for cost-effective performance Starling's Ku-band antennas provide significant economic advantages. CoMPA technology significantly reduces long-term operational costs and ensures that the price per Mbps is very low. The high-beam accuracy and embedded power amplifier minimizes the use of satellite capacity, more efficiently using available bandwidth and maximizing bitrate, as it uses fewer satellites overall. This enables the receipt and transmission of heavy data files, voice, and video in a cost effective way. The Starling Advantages Cost effective – Provides rapid ROI for the initial installation and start-up costs and reduces the expense of long-term operations Efficiency – Highly tuned regarding gain, sensitivity, and the interference profile, ensuring efficient use of each satellite and requiring fewer satellites to maintain global coverage. Ease and speed of installation – Single-wire connectivity directly to the airplane’s internal “network” for wireless distribution. The antenna itself is packaged within a single Line Replacement Unit, with all transmitting/receiving units embedded within the system. This ensures rapid installation and low maintenance, minimizing down time. Weight – Lightweight to ensure they do not adversely affect the structural integrity of the vehicle or increase fuel costs Low profile – No significant increase in drag Global coverage – 24/7/365 connection to the satellite regardless of the geographic location of the satellite or the plane Reliability – The 350+ passengers always receive broadband communications High performance – Supports a high bit rate both for transmit and receive Power – Low power consumption to easily integrate the antenna within the vehicle’s existing electronics with fewer cooling devices required. |
