A Plane Deal For TriaGnoSys

TriaGnoSys has been selected by Thales for their new inflight broadband Internet connectivity solution, specifically designed for the high-growth business and regional jet markets. TriaGnoSys will provide the satellite communications management and billing processes to make inflight Internet connectivity an economically viable option for smaller aircraft. The Thales/TriaGnoSys inflight connectivity solution is the first cabin Internet connectivity solution purpose-designed for the space constraints associated with smaller aircraft of up to 110 seats. The solution is compact and lightweight and also benefits from the cost-efficiencies and the high bandwidth capabilities of Inmarsat’s SwiftBroadband technology. In addition, the system uses a modem that can provide multiple channels, further improving both performance and cost-effectiveness. The new inflight connectivity solution will provide business and regional aircraft passengers with the ability to use their laptops to access the Internet at broadband speeds via a Wi-Fi connection, as well as access other multimedia services including printers and fax machines running on the TopSeries platform. The solution incorporates PlaneBill billing technology, also supplied by TriaGnoSys, which offers a range of payment options. These include pay as you go or fixed-rate billing options payable by credit card as well as pre-paid authenticated access either for individuals or for those working within a corporate network—Wessling, Germany
