Guardian Mobility and Flightcell International are introducing a new Iridium Certus 100 communications system that supports both satellite and cellular mid-band data and voice services for rotorcraft and light fixed-wing aircraft. The new package combines Flightcell’s DZMx cellular and satellite voice, data and tracking system with the new Guardian Mobility G6 Iridium Certus 100 satellite terminal, adding 88 kbps bi-directional satellite data connectivity.

According to Guardian Mobility, the one-box G6 unit provides an effective size and weight combination for installations on smaller aircraft. “This solution complements Flightcell’s cellular connectivity and will offer new features, capabilities, and cost-effective aviation satellite communications not seen before in this market,” said Flightcell v-p Hamish Neill.
