Satcom1 Testing SwiftBroadband Channel Bonding
Testing has reached a stable output of 1.4 Mbps “over a significant period of time.”

Satcom1’s research and development team is testing bonding of three and four Inmarsat SwiftBroadband channels at its Paris Le Bourget lab. The bonding tests are running on a single Cobham SB-800 with two channels and two single-channel Cobham Aviation 350s, for a total of four channels. So far, testing has reached a stable output of 1.4 Mbps “over a significant period of time,” according to Francois Goudal, head of R&D at Satcom1. “However, it is important to note that the results are depending on many factors, [such as] the network load, especially in the Paris location, which is one of the busiest spot beams in the world. Therefore, we continue our R&D efforts to find the best and most efficient solution and we expect more details and positive news to come as we continue testing.”
