Things are happening! We partnered with Delta Engineering for our debut fitting of the Plane Simple Ku Band ESA and SMU on a Cessna Aircraft Company #Citation--500. The LEO antenna, using Eutelsat OneWeb network delivers enterprise-speeds of 195x36 and the SD modem can go in non-pressurized areas, optimizing cabin space. Flight testing will begin this summer. Stay tuned to keep up to date on all the progress. #SatcomDirect #PlaneSimple #BusinessAviation #BusinessJets #CorporateJets #PrivateAircraft

Earlier this month, SD Gov participated in yet another Max Endurance Operation (MEO), this time with our PSKu Roll-On Roll-Off TRASC solution, where an Air Force C-130 crew braved a long flight around half the planet as part of an experiment testing how quickly they could respond to a crisis in the Indo-Pacific. The MEO flight out of Dyess AFB with the 317th Air Wing employed the Intelsat FlexAir network to test #SATCOM capabilities over the Pacific. We are honored to work with our armed forces.

CwC is about connecting with customers and also collaboration. Great to have Gulfstream Aerospace at the event to talk about our newest technology, the Plane Simple Ku ESA Antenna! The antenna will be flight testing this summer on a CJ3 and Grand Caravan. Available to order and designed for optimized compatibility with the Eutelsat OneWeb low earth orbit (LEO) constellation, the hardware strengthens the Plane Simple® Antenna Series portfolio with the addition of the Gilat Satellite Networks advanced ESA that will unlock the full 195/36 broadband capability of OneWeb. The new flat panel design for business and military aviation is an electronically-steered phased-array antenna system. The new antenna, will be the smallest, most efficient form factor, and is purpose fit for small to mid-size jets. Its lightweight, low-profile design will bring high-speed connectivity to a wide range of airframes. Contact us to learn more. #SatcomDirect #Gulfstream #BusinessAviation #BusinessJets #CorporateJets
