AirSatOne Launches Airborne Wi-Fi Calling
Smartphones with the Wi-Fi calling feature can use their same number for airborne satcom calling and texting.

Service provider AirSatOne said it has “certified its network for compatibility with Wi-Fi calling," and that smartphones capable of Wi-Fi calling can be used for telephone calls and texting during all phases of flight on business jets equipped with Internet-capable satcom systems. According to AirSatOne president Jo Kremsreiter, “With Wi-Fi calling, when the mobile phone loses cellular coverage but Wi-Fi is available, it automatically switches to Wi-Fi for calls and text messages, allowing the phone to work the same as it does every day on the ground. Testing of Wi-Fi calling over AirSatOne systems has revealed extremely clear voice and virtually no background noise.”
