EMS Aviation, Eclipse provides first managed VoIP Service on Airbus A320 Head-of-State Aircraft
Posted on 24 May 2010 in Aircraft Interiors
EMS Aviation has completed installation of an advanced, managed Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) service with a Middle Eastern Head of State Airbus A320 aircraft. EMS teamed with Paris-based Eclipse, an Inmarsat service provider and avionics dealer, to implement this secure end-to-end voice solution, which is the first of its kind on an A320 aircraft.
The managed VoIP service takes advantage of the advanced features of EMS Aviation's eNfusion avionics suite to access and dynamically manage various Quality of Service (QoS) SwiftBroadband streaming IP data sessions.
This feature allows the system to more efficiently offer passengers multiple simultaneous VoIP telephony calls, which can help reduce costs. As a managed end-to-end service it also offers the highest possible level of telephony security.
"Eclipse developed this application of VoIP in 2009," said Marc Pinault, Eclipse chief executive officer. "The operator's feedback on the system has been very positive. As a result, cabin voice on this aircraft is exclusively
VoIP using SwiftBroadband. Our hardware and backbone software, coupled with EMS Aviation's CCU-200 networking device and HSD-440 High-speed Data Transceiver, are what make the system unique."
The system leverages both EMS Aviation and Eclipse technology in the ground infrastructure on Vizada's Ground Earth Station network backbone located in France.
"This is an important milestone for EMS Aviation," said Nim Evatt, EMS Aviation general manager. "We have been looking for new ways to offer users the best of SwiftBroadband. Our networking technology continues to push the envelope by offering this latest innovation in airborne telephony services."
