Progressively, terminal speeds are expected to reach 1.4 mbps, using software featured on the new Iridium Next satellites. Iridium is also using Certus to enable data and voice communications for aviation, maritime and other mobility applications in two different configurations, including a lower speed 352 kbps connection and a higher speed 704 kbps version. 'This significant achievement marks our progress in bringing our customers an even faster, seamless SATCOM experience,' said Nate Boelkins, vice president and general manager for Commercial Avionics for Collins Aerospace. 2019 it would be developing terminals for the Boeing 737 MAX and the 777X. The data transmission marks the latest Iridium Certus technology development milestone for the company, after first confirming in Jan. вЂњDepending on the operator's bandwidth requirements, either a low gain or high gain antenna can be included, providing L-band bandwidth to 176 kilobits per second (kbps) or 704 kbps, respectively,вЂќ the company said in a statement. Along with a new Active Low Gain Antenna (ALGA), the transmission was enabled by a Satcom Data Unit (SDU) and SDU Configuration Module (SCM).

The transmission was the вЂњfirst successful airborne equipment transmission of this type over the upgraded Iridium constellationвЂ™s L-band broadband service,вЂќ according to Collins.
