Using the existing Magnastar earth station network, the new system will operate through hardware derived from TrueNorth's open-architecture Simphone OpenCabin system as an upgrade for existing Magnastar operators and also available to new customers. Satcom Direct will manage the service and handle all billing. Airfone's current voice and data services will be augmented by added automatic switching to Iridium satellite communications when out of range of Magnastar ground stations.
