Personal Mobile Communications in Aircrafts - Wireless Cabin

Make and receive calls on your mobile telephone, Internet surfing, send and re-ceive e-mails, read the most updated news, connect your laptop to your com-pany private net-work.
All communication possibilities in your normal life will be also feasible while travelling by plane.

Potential application:

The wireless access standards chosen for the cellular on-board network (de-picted in the picture below) are UMTS, IEEE 802.11b (Wireless LAN) and Blue-tooth: UMTS for personal telephony and packet data, Bluetooth and WLAN for IP access. Furthermore the final network architecture will be open to any other emerging standard.

Competition advantages:

• provide the usage of personal devices (like mobile telephones, laptops or PDA), instead of in-built terminals on the aircraft seats.
• Users can be reached under their usual telephone number
• Users may have available telephone numbers or other data stored in their cell phones or PDAs, their laptops have the software they are used to, the documents they need and with their personalised configuration (starting web site, bookmarks, address book).
• airlines save investment related to the installation of terminals (screens, stations, wired telephones), together with software licenses (in case of PCs) and further investments due to hardware updating to offer always latest technology to their customers.
