Among the new products introduced at the Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA) International Convention & Trade Show on March 23 were Honeywell’s new KSN 770 touchscreen navigator, the new GTN 650/750 touchscreen panel-mount navigators from Garmin and something that many have been waiting for, voice capability for Aircell’s Gogo Biz airborne telecom system, along with a new Aircell Android-based cabin smartphone. (The full AEA report will be featured in AIN’s May issue.)
Gogo Biz is Aircell’s airborne broadband network, but until the new voice capability goes live later this year, Gogo is primarily an airborne Internet access system. The voice capability will be combined with Gogo Biz in a single equipment package, according to Aircell, delivering high-quality voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) telephone service along with broadband Internet access at speeds equivalent to many ground-based Internet services.
