Satcom1 Highlights New Developments at MEBA 2014
Satcom1 has updated its AvioPhone application to allow passengers to use their personal iPhone and Android phones without the need for a picocell system.

Satcom1 (Stand 632), with headquarters in Denmark and represented in the Middle East by a regional sales office in Dubai, is highlighting a number of recent advances here at MEBA, including becoming a hardware re-seller for the first time through an agreement with Honeywell.

In addition Satcom1 has updated its AvioPhone application to allow passengers to use their personal iPhone and Android phones without the need for a picocell system. The phone works directly with an aircraft internet connection and can make and receive calls to and from ground phones in the same way as it would on the ground, complete with caller display. At present U.S. and European phones are supported, and the system is undergoing beta testing. The AvioPhone update is to be released commercially in the first quarter of next year, by which time it will support all phones.
