Satellite Beach, Florida-based Satcom Direct (Booth H231) has launched a new service that allows travelers in business aircraft to use their cell phones seamlessly. The new technology consists of what is effectively an on-board mobile phone cell. All that is required to access the “Global VT” service is a Satcom Direct Router (SDR) in the aircraft, with the latest software update, and a smart phone. As of mid-February, some 75 aircraft had SDRs installed.
