Correct a lot of hype and little substance.
Been saying for 5 years they will be flying on Atlantic airlines in the Foroe islands who operate 2 aircraft. In March last year said they were flying. Then in October last year in an interview with RGN said had nothing installed on Atlantic, was going to happen in November. Then in April this year, they announced they would have iridium approval in 2 days and installed on Atlantic . 6 months later nothing flying and confirmed by the airline CEO in an interview.

The reason they have no iridium approval is their design is flawed.

You cannot put an antenna in an airline window without Iridium, FCC/CE and aviation approval. To suggest you can use one off the shelf is BS. It’s inside the window, so part of the aircraft and has to be fully certified. Took us 6 years to develop that technology. That’s why we are approved.

Regardless, the bigger issue is you can’t connect 200+ passengers on wifi down a 22/88kbps link. Iridium’s own Certus100 system limits wifi to 4. On our bizjets we limit wifi to just one, (but unlimited on our Bluetooth network). Certus100 is the equivalent of 2G.

They have been trying to copy us since 2018 when we rejected them. We have commissioned 8 Certus100 systems to-date and lead the world in this field and also have the only certified window system in operation.
