Passenger Communications for Business Aviation

With the fastest broadband connections possible and the lowest rates in the industry, ARINC Direct^SM Satellite Communications are the obvious choice to keep passengers connected—just like they were at home or in the office. Reading and writing e-mails, making Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone calls, surfing the Internet, sending and receiving faxes, and video conferencing are just a few of the things made possible by ARINC Direct’s passenger communications solutions.

Inmarsat Services

Since not every flight department needs the speed of a Ku-band broadband Internet connection, ARINC Direct offers a full array of Inmarsat (L-band) services enhanced by features like seamless Ku/L-band switching, automatic fax detection, and an online interface to view real-time traffic.

ARINC Direct is a fully managed service solution with no minimum contracts. Competitive rates, simplified billing, and 24x7x365 tech support make us the logical provider for all of your Inmarsat service needs.

Inmarsat services are available for the following connection types:

• Swift 64
• Swift Broadband / BGAN
• Aero-H / H+ / I
• Mini-M

Iridium Services

As the business aviation industry moves toward Iridium connectivity as the standard in satellite communications—and the replacement for Magnastar—ARINC Direct customers are benefiting greatly from the cost-effective, highly reliable service.

Anywhere around the globe, our customers rely on us to keep them connected at the most important times—to make calls, send and receive faxes, and to stay online.

ARINC Direct currently offers Iridium voice solutions for aircraft equipped with International Communications Group (ICG) units.

ARINC Direct Dial^TM

Access your entire fleet with a single telephone number—regardless of the connection type—using ARINC Direct Dial. Simply calling a standard telephone number routes calls dynamically based upon the caller's choice, connecting them with the aircraft via Inmarsat Classic, Inmarsat Swift, or Iridium. With our automatic fax detection, this same number can also accept faxes with no user intervention.

Our Direct Dial International option lets you pick local numbers from hundreds of countries and cities worldwide. Enjoy all the convenience and simplicity of Direct Dial, but with a number local to where you choose. You can even choose to have multiple local numbers around the globe.

With single-point connectivity to Inmarsat and Iridium technology from anywhere, Direct Dial is easy-to-use and seamless—giving customers the flexibility and convenience they need.
