Close to finalising the restructure of the IPTK and the Australian company. Still need to address the substantial outstanding loans which is myself, the CFO and one other investor.
Our CFO is working on it full time and we hope to have it clarified by end of month.
Will advise.

FYI Most on Play is just content software on the Bluebox server, not Satcom connectivity and Bluetooth which is what FFlya delivers. We have also recently been approached by PXCom and Inflight Dublin (competitors to Bluebox) and agreed to enable them on a specific airline by airline basis.

Yes I guess we shall see. It seemed the successful trial with Bluebox could potentially lead to something so I am holding out some hope there even though they just recently used someone else in their last airline deal...I believe it was PLAY/MOST or something along those lines. Time will tell.

As of Monday the FFlya Australian subsidiary was approved by the Australian Securities Investment Commission (our SEC equivalent) as an unlisted Australia public company.
We are now in discussion with the majority shareholders regarding next steps and the restructure of IPTK. Will advise.
On the airline side we have completed live payment integration on both major programs. I will update you on next steps ASAP.

Looks like a decent chance this is will be the Middle East Airline mentioned. Also the companies mentioned at the end of the article seems to be some pretty good company to be in. Roll all of this up together into IPTK :) Would make for some nice offerings. We should be hearing within the next week or 2 on the Australian listing.

Bluebox and FFLYA confirm successful credit card payment ground tests over Iridium Certus network
By Satu Dahl May 24, 2024 Aircraft Interiors Expo, Ancillary revenues, Featured, IFEC
Bluebox and FFLYA confirm Iridium Certus Network live payments from Blueview
Bluebox Aviation Systems and FFLYA have announced that the companies have conducted successful ground tests of credit card payments over the Iridium Certus satellite network.

The tests included live payment transactions completed on an iPad to purchase in-flight entertainment bundles from Bluebox’s Blueview digital services platform. The companies say the purchases were sent wirelessly from the iPad to a Bluebox Wow portable wireless unit which was connected to the FFLYA router, and that router was connected through a patch antenna to the Iridium Certus satellite network. The payment was then validated by a payment provider and the purchase confirmed on the iPad.

Blueview software platform provides browser-based portal for passengers can view and access digital services including onboard retail, in-flight entertainment and a moving map, as well as all the underlying functionality which ensures secure payment processing, delivery of content, third-party app integration, content management and analytics.

“For Bluebox, ensuring our customers have choice – choice of digital services, choice of hardware system and choice of connectivity solution – is central to everything we do,” said James Macrae, CTO, Bluebox.

“Airlines invest considerably in differentiating their product and delivering the best experience for their passengers. No two airlines are alike – so one size won’t fit all. We’ve already integrated Blueview with high bandwidth GEO satcom connectivity, but these are still considerable investments for many airlines, especially for LCCs and regional operators.

“For some airlines, any investment in connectivity is still years away – and we have well-proven offline solutions for them. Now, we’re able to offer a happy medium – all the power of Blueview, boosted by the ability for airlines to increase revenue with more onboard sales in a secure retail environment, thanks to live payment validation.”

Ron Chapman, President, FFLYA commented: “Bluebox and FFLYA share some common principles in providing low-cost, rapid deployment of systems that improve the passenger experience and help our airline customers generate revenue. Bluebox are experts in digital passenger experiences, and we bring our expertise and proven experience with LEO connectivity and different antennae systems, knowing that for many of Bluebox’s target customers, a single patch antenna is the best solution.

“This eliminates the issues found with window antennae, for which there can be a 60-degree blind spot above larger aircraft which can result in a high failure rate of transactions due to the unique time and data requirements of live retail payment validation – not exactly ideal for an airline depending on maximising revenue from onboard retail sales. Plus, our antenna with a single cabling and partition install can be done overnight – making this a fast and simple engineering task and minimising the time the aircraft is out of service.”

According to FFLYA, its patch antenna is an Iridium aviation certified Certus antenna which has zero drag. An STC for Airbus A320 family aircraft is already available, and the company has plans underway for the Boeing 737 series.

The board will be able to clarify the final IPTK plan as soon as the Australian Securities Exchange Commission approves FFlya’s submission to become a public company.
Our CFO spoke with them early this week and they advised it should be in place on July 1st being the start of our new financial year.

asiqlimited asiqlimited 4 months ago
So I am able to provide a bit more clarification on where we are at. The restructure is taking longer than anticipated, due to the commercial process of establishing the public Australian company, but looks like launch date will be July 1st to coincide with our new financial year. The final construct should see IPTK as a major shareholder of the Australian company. The initial Australian company who is now the licensee for the airline program has been established as FFLYA Pty Ltd and of the 10% equity we issue to raised funds, to date we have raised A$265 at A$ 7 cents per share (US 5cents)

This has enabled us to secure a contract in the Middle East for a new airline program, finish testing with Bluebox (press link below) and have the business case approved on a second airline. Plus commit to a flight test on a third airline, but will need some additional funds to support that. Offical announcements will follow once airline approved.

On Wizz, due the A321NEO major engine issues grounding 45 of the existing Wizz NEO fleet, our A321CEO equipped fleet have been relocated to the EU to support the aircraft shortfall. As a result we needed to suspend the UK program. Wizz advised they plan to release a request for proposal for the full fleet and that the passenger flight proving was a success, but as the engines issues are the priority, I am uncertain when that will eventuate.
Apparently they report the aircraft will be grounded between 250-300 days. This is a global issue but unfortunately Wizz is the largest operator of this type of aircraft.
Regardless, it was Wizz who confirms our system works and that has been crucial for new programs, so we will persevere as without their support we would not have got off the ground.

This one isn't directly FFLYA related...but interesting for BlueTooth in general.

Hubble Network makes Bluetooth connection with a satellite for the first time
Aria Alamalhodaei@breadfrom / 4:00 PM EDT•May 2, 2024
Comment

Hubble Network has become the first company in history to establish a Bluetooth connection directly to a satellite — a critical technology validation for the company, potentially opening the door to connecting millions more devices anywhere in the world.

The Seattle-based startup launched its first two satellites to orbit on SpaceX’s Transporter-10 rideshare mission in March; since that time, the company confirmed that it has received signals from the onboard 3.5mm Bluetooth chips from over 600 kilometers away.

The sky is truly the limit for space-enabled Bluetooth devices: The startup says its technology can be used in markets including logistics, cattle tracking, smart collars for pets, GPS watches for kids, car inventory, construction sites and soil temperature monitoring. Haro said the low-hanging fruit is those industries that are desperate for network coverage even once per day, like remote asset monitoring for the oil and gas industry. As the constellation scales, Hubble will turn its attention to sectors that may need more frequent updates, like soil monitoring, to continuous coverage use cases like fall monitoring for the elderly.

Once it’s up and running, a customer would simply need to integrate their devices’ chipsets with a piece of firmware to enable connection to Hubble’s network.

Hubble was founded in 2021 by Life360 co-founder Alex Haro, Iotera founder Ben Wild (who sold his startup to Ring) and aerospace engineer John Kim. Haro said the first time Wild presented the idea of connecting a Bluetooth chip to a satellite, his initial reaction was, “No freaking way.” And it does sound crazy, especially as consumer electronics can struggle to connect to other Bluetooth-enabled devices that are just a few feet away.

But the demand is there: Existing IoT devices are power hungry, costly to operate and lack global connectivity, the company says. These are fundamental limitations related to Bluetooth-enabled devices today, and they prevent many industries from leveraging IoT for their businesses.

The company joined Y Combinator’s Winter 2022 cohort and closed a $20 million Series A last March. Hubble’s first innovation was to develop software enabling off-the-shelf Bluetooth chips to communicate over very long ranges with low power.


On the space side, the company also patented a phased array antenna that can launch on a small satellite. The antennas work almost like a magnifying glass, and it’s what enables an off-the-shelf Bluetooth chip to communicate with the Hubble satellite. The team also had to solve Doppler-related problems, frequency mismatches that occur between fast-moving objects exchanging data via radio waves.

Hubble is aiming to launch a third satellite on SpaceX’s Transporter-11 mission this summer and a fourth on Transporter-13. Those four satellites will compose what Haro called the “beta constellation,” and pilot customers are starting to turn their integrations on even today, he said. The startup plans to launch the following 32 satellites all at once in the fourth quarter of 2025 or the beginning of 2026, though the launch provider has not been selected yet.

Those 36 satellites will compose Hubble’s first “production constellation,” and they’ll enable connection with a Hubble satellite roughly two-three hours per day from anywhere in the world.

So this is my issue. I want to be able to give you the final structure on IPTK regarding FFlya, but that’s reliant on the structure of the new Australian company and the Australian majority shareholders.
The new structure was formed but the process to convert to a public company in Australia and bring in new investors takes time. We have been advised it will be another 30 days before government formalities alone are complete.

That also impacts on our airline program relationships, all at various stages needing funding..

I appreciate this doesn’t help and you are waiting for answers, but I can only move as fast as our very limited resources allow.

Back to you ASAP

Feels like perhaps we are just waiting for some I dotting and T crossing for an official PR on something? I would think if it were just going to be an update here that would only take a few minutes to put together and wouldn't take 3 weeks to get out? Unless of course something has to be approved by another company before we even get an update on here? Bigger companies do always come with much more bureaucracy and red tape to cut through. Interested to see exactly what they have put together as far as the new financing deal and which airlines are now involved. Every week that passes puts us that much closer to missing the install window before summer. We are already half way thru March. If things don't happen soon they likely won't happen again until EOY or next year.

Thank you for reaching out today with these messages. As always I appreciate you sharing your outlook on the industry and the offerings out there. I recall you saying a year ago that there would be a lot of hype coming regarding these other services. To this point you have been correct...because the other guys still aren't flying and PR's are still flowing. Even before I actually put my money up here I had read most all of the articles etc published on yourself and ASIP. I believed then that it would be your experience in the market and the outside of the box approach that would eventually set ASIP apart from the others. I accepted all of risk that comes with investing, jumped in and I maintain that position to this day yrs later lying patiently in wait. I must admit while I understand it, having everything always wrapped under NDA's is tough when things haven't come to fruition after all of the yrs of pursuit by ASIP. So naturally from time to time there will be questions and or concerns from shareholders. So I'm certainly glad to see some recent dialogue and look forward to the upcoming update.

The PR/hype train from all of the other guys certainly doesn't seem to be slowing anytime soon.

Just to clarify.
Airfi have tried to copy us and have been saying for 7 years they will be flying Iridium connectivity on Atlantic Airways who operate 2 aircraft in the Faroe Islands. It’s still not flying, at least according to a recent Seth miller article interviewing the Atlantic Airlines President. That’s despite Airfi announcing it would be installed last September and the September before that.

Airfi last year announced Surinam Airways which consists of one Airbus A340 and one Boeing 737. Again nothing flying.

Interesting that the only picture Airfi show of a window installation is a photoshopped antenna on their website.

So 10 out of 10 for announcing existing video server customers are now going go to test thier connectivity, but Iridium Certus is a 22/88kbps link.

Even iridium’s own Certus 100 land product “Iridium Executive” in its FAQ states. On wifi limited to 4 users text only.

That’s because Certus 100 is the equivalent of 1.5G. Whatsapp is not even that great on 3G with one user.

Over the years Airfi copying first said they are going to do free SMS and WhatsApp. They obviously realised you can’t do SMS over wifi as that’s a Telco service, so the story changed to free WhatsApp. They then realised Certus100 cost $3500 per Gb, so they then said pay for WhatsApp.

Now Aifi in this article are saying it’s webmail office 365 and gmail.

We have been doing email via Bluetooth for 10 years. If you could do it on wifi via narrowband I never would have invented our system.

Certus100 was built for one user to take a portable device into the outback and get some connectivity or, someone on a boat.

The other main function is IOT (Bluetooth) and drones. As it’s low latency it can do inflight payment but again only 2 active devices, as to many disconnects shut the system down.

I look forward to them one day actually flying Certus, as it will validate to an airline exactly what they can deliver via wifi.

To their credit they have a very good PR machine, but the only thing that will count in the end is, does it work as published and that answer will be a no.

Apologies for the delay, I assure you I am working on the update and hope to release it in the next day or so. I want to be able to give you clarity on the restructure which we have been working on for months and believe it will address your concerns regarding IPTK plus, a status of currently 4 airline programs which is also a challenge, as we are restricted by NDA’s.

What I can say is I have a substantial investment in IPTK and see it as a crucial part of my own plan going forward.

It would be great if it came in the form of a PR. :) Either way I'm ready to take a look at whatever is going to get served up. I have always had high hopes for this one as the idea tech makes sense and share structure is great. However I can't help but think there is something significant that I am missing when it appeared back 3 yrs ago that roll out of this tech was "coming soon". Was it a road block with the tech not working properly? Are the airlines waiting to see if the projects from Elon and other co's will solve this problem?

All of this was looking really positive in 2021...Its hard to believe we now sit at the share price that we do.
Rollout to passengers is coming soon.

AirFi with another test partner. FFLYA mentioned in the write up.

VietJet signs on for AirFi LEO trial
23 FEBRUARY 2024 BY SETH MILLER LEAVE A COMMENT

AirFi has added another customer for its lightweight LEO connectivity offering in Asia. The company inked a deal with VietJet to trial its inflight internet service on two aircraft, announced at the Singapore Air Show.

Today is very special for me because one of the biggest airlines in Asia has agreed to our trial proposition to bring connectivity not only to VietJet, but also all the Vietnamese passengers. – Martijn Moret, AirFi co-Founder and Board Member


The agreement calls for a couple aircraft in the VietJet fleet to be fitted, allowing the airline to test the connectivity solution and its impact on crew and passenger experience in flight.VietJet currently operates 79 A320-family planes, as well as seven A330s.

The AirFi solution is supported by a modem and window-mount antenna sourced from SKYTRAC, which also participated in the signing ceremony in Singapore. SKYTRAC’s President Malachi Nordine called attention to the quick installation available for the window-mount antenna, which can be installed “overnight, in a matter of hours, a significant differentiator and value add for airlines.”

The antenna, modem, and on-board access point that make up the AirFi LEO solution
The antenna, modem, and on-board access point that make up the AirFi LEO solution
Additional services on the horizon
Payments processing remains the most compelling use case of the AirFi LEO system. CEO Job Heimerikx remains confident that the reduction in payment failures alone can cover an airline’s implementation costs. On top of that the lightweight messaging services – either paid or free to passengers – work without an extra application layer on the phone. That opens a range of revenue or passenger experience opportunities.

But AirFi is not stopping there. During a recent visit at the company’s headquarters Heimerikx disclosed the company is now working on an email option as well.

The company says it is focused on webmail rather than a full application experience. It will almost certainly not be able to support every webmail solution on the market. But getting Gmail and Office365 sorted could be enough to satisfy a sufficiently large customer base to be worth the effort.

Exactly how this will work remains unclear, and similar concerns have been raised with respect to fflya‘s similar claimed implementations. Neither has provided further details on how they are handling the authentication, data security, and content filtering necessary to deliver the more robust messaging services on a lightweight link, though both clearly have a plan they’re executing.

Thank you for the update and Happy New Year to you and the team. Sounds like some positive progress is being made. I certainly understand the need to cut costs where you can. It's encouraging to hear that the documentation is being kept up for potential filings down the road. One thing I was wondering about is the refining of the link software regarding the satellite handover etc. How is all that coming along on the technical side? I would assume this is pretty important for passenger experience.

Enjoy whatever your vacation period entails. I will be looking forward to Feb/Mar for further updates.

Hopefully 2024 will be the break out year that puts FFLYA, BOB and 10yrs of hard work in the industry spot light!

To bring you up to date, we completed the initial technical aspects of the Australian fund raising in early November. We appointed DH Flinders to handle the cap raise. Some initial funds have been received in December at A$ 7 cents (US$ equivalent 5cents.) Business jets also continue to contribute commissions to fund IPTK. As jan is our vacation period, not a lot will happen until early feb, which is ok for our program timing, as Feb to May is a key airline install window after the Xmas holiday peak period. I appreciate it is dragging out, but we are also renegotiating the existing convertible notes that expired 31/12, while trying to manage 3 airline programs that are in various launch and development stages. Just so you are aware, it would only take 1 x 10k and 2 x 10q’s to bring our reporting in order. We are continuing to maintain the documentation, but can’t justify that cost at the moment when our airline program funding is so important. All these things effect the final config for IPTK which hopefully will become much clearer in feb.

Yea no idea. The fact that it appears these moves started 6 months or so ago makes me believe we should be seeing some kind of official update soon. I thought we'd maybe get a year end official update but that came and went..lol. Hopefully we get a full and well put together ceo letter for the 2024 outlook.

I wonder how long we have to wait to find out are fate. I didn't see any news on what IPTK received for 10% of the company which the New Australian Company has received. Just curious.

Not overly excited about it...However the majority shareholders voted in favor of the move,,,and also Ron said IPTK has a 90% interest in whatever is coming overseas. So it seems we are still alive. If the system is $10k-$15k installed which i believe is what was mentioned before. I think the cost dropped from $25k to $10-$15k at some point?...Then just from them not spending the $50k+ it probably costs to file fins then that is close to 5 planes installed right there...that alone could fund a trial plane with 2 more airlines. And as Ron mentioned after 14 or so yrs of WIFI being back available for airlines...there is still a huge void in that market. It seems to me that another option is needed and I think IPTK has it. I don't know what the triggering event will be or what behind the scenes takes so long...but I feel like we are still very much in the ball game here...unless I am just completely missing something?

So overall I'm not happy we have gone dark..as I think announcements are close...but I am happy that it seems they can raise funds over seas to get these other trials going with some other airlines. We need planes in the air.

Hopefully we are close to some solid updates regarding the new entertainment offering, Wizz UK Launch, Financing, and the names of the next airlines on the list that have supposedly been in talks for quite a while now. I wasn't sure if we would be able to add shares once we went dark...so I added a little more before the lights went out. I am still in here with over 200k shares and hoping for the best. Maybe I'm blind to some things...but I feel there is still serious potential here.

What I can tell you is that IPTK is part of our group and it’s our intention to maintain the listing. The final config is under negotiation and I will update you as soon as I can.

I already advised on 2nd November under the restructure we were taking the IPTK dark. The majority shareholders were not prepared to outlay $50k just to maintain SEC compliance, at a time where we are trying to fund 3 airline programs. We are currently raising funds in Australia @US 3.5 cents the listing became a deterrent to that.

As soon as I can, I will update you on both the restructure status which includes IPTK and the 3 programs.

I apologies if this came as a shock, but we did file the 15G and explained the plan.
