CommAgility software selected by SmartSky for air-to-ground network
November 04 2021 - 8:00AM
Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. (NYSE American: WTT) announced
today that SmartSky Networks has selected the CommAgility
high-performance telecommunications systems software as a key part
of its next-generation air-to-ground (ATG) network.
CommAgility has supplied a comprehensive set of
software and tools to SmartSky for inflight connectivity, providing
a full protocol stack and physical layer (PHY) for SmartSky’s
Aircraft Base Radio (ABR), which is the user equipment (UE) on
board the aircraft. The ABR connects to a ground base station and
provides broadband inflight connectivity for the operational needs
of the aircraft, passengers, and crew.
Inflight connectivity systems must be designed
to meet the unique challenges of air-to-ground communications such
as long-range transmission and Doppler shift due to high-altitude
and high-speed air travel, and CommAgility has customized its
software to meet SmartSky's specific requirements.
“We're combining the best telecoms technologies
to deliver the optimal airborne communications network. We enhance
standards-based 4G LTE and 5G technologies in an integrated system
designed to provide high-bandwidth and reliable performance at
close and long-range, in the most challenging mobility use-case –
aviation. CommAgility has been able to tailor its world-class
software to meet our unique needs,” said David Claassen, Chief
Technology Officer at SmartSky Networks. “We’ve built up trust and
a strong relationship with CommAgility. They have provided an
amazing set of technologies which helped us to deliver our solution
to the market.”
SmartSky's ATG network delivers unprecedented
speed and capacity, with ultra-low latency, creating a
best-in-class experience that allows users to do everything in the
air that they take for granted on the ground. The company’s
patented beamforming and spectrum re-use technologies have been
tested and proven, and the network is now rolling out across the
USA for aviation operators and passengers.
“SmartSky has built an innovative network that
transforms the inflight experience, as well as providing invaluable
data services for the aviation industry,” said Edward Young, Senior
Vice President and Managing Director at CommAgility. “We’re proud
that our software is playing an important role in the network.”
For SmartSky’s UE, CommAgility has provided its
MobilePHY-TI and MobileSTACK software. It has also provided
development tools and test software.
