FliteStream F-310 Ideal for Aircraft to
Deliver the Benefits of Next-Gen Satellite Networks
Astronics Corporation (NASDAQ:ATRO), through its wholly-owned
subsidiary Astronics AeroSat, announced its latest aircraft antenna
system, the FliteStream® F-310. Designed to provide the high
performance needed for new spot beam satellite technology, the
FliteStream F-310 delivers the highest bandwidth and fastest
in-flight internet connectivity speeds in its class.
“The continued evolution of our fuselage mount antennas for
commercial and VVIP aircraft illustrates Astronics’ continued focus
on providing industry-leading airborne connectivity solutions,”
said Matthew Harrah, President of Astronics AeroSat. “The new F-310
provides the high performance needed for next generation Ku-band
High-Throughput Satellites (HTS), which utilize faster spot beam
technology in place of traditional wide beams. We look forward to
working with aircraft OEMs and service partners to install and
offer the fastest user experience for in-flight internet
connectivity.“
The new FliteStream F-310 provides Ku-band HTS connectivity with
new technology that minimizes service interruptions when switching
from spot beam to spot beam in flight. Designed to replace the
current FliteStream F-210 product, the F-310 uses existing mounting
provisions to eliminate any impact to aircraft installation designs
and provides an easy path for OEMs to upgrade to the latest Ku-Band
HTS networks.
AeroSat's FliteStream solutions are the only products available
with patented "Rexolite® Lens" technology, which enables
AeroSat to create the most efficient, reliable, and
highest-performing connectivity systems available. Key features of
the new FliteStream F-310 solution include:
- Seamless connectivity for passengers to
browse the internet, send and receive emails, make calls using
Voice-Over-IP (VoIP), access virtual private network (VPN)
services, conduct video conferences, and enjoy favorite work or
entertainment applications
- Highest performing Ku-band SATCOM
antenna system, critical for maintaining low angle satellite
coverage while flying at higher latitudes
- A three-piece LRU system: antenna,
antenna controller, and high power transceiver
- Compliance with RTCA/DO-160 &
RTCA/DO-178
- Small size and light weight
AeroSat will display the new FliteStream F-310 at booth
3B30 at the Aircraft Interiors
Exposition in Hamburg, Germany, April 4-6, 2017. For complete
