Pentar Avionics of Seattle announced availability of the new version of its JetLan airborne network server, the JetLan XP. Besides offering enhanced performance compared to the earlier design, company president Bob Rodgers told AIN the JetLan XP “is a much more modular system that can be upgraded to take advantage of new technology as it becomes available. It has an improved form factor because it was designed from the start for aviation use, so we don’t need an external adapter tray to cope with a variety of different interconnections.”
The company said the JetLan XP serves as an onboard local area network (LAN) allowing real-time access to the Internet, e-mail, corporate portals, Intranets, corporate ground-based data files as well as support for wired or wireless cabin networks. It offers high performance and compatibility supporting most major corporate operating systems including Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT4.0, Windows 2000 advanced server and Linux 6.0. Company e-mail products bundled with the JetLan XP permit airborne passengers to directly contact their primary network e-mail system using their Exchange, Outlook or Lotus Notes application net access with a ground server, said Rodgers.
