Just to clarify.
Airfi have tried to copy us and have been saying for 7 years they will be flying Iridium connectivity on Atlantic Airways who operate 2 aircraft in the Faroe Islands. It’s still not flying, at least according to a recent Seth miller article interviewing the Atlantic Airlines President. That’s despite Airfi announcing it would be installed last September and the September before that.

Airfi last year announced Surinam Airways which consists of one Airbus A340 and one Boeing 737. Again nothing flying.

Interesting that the only picture Airfi show of a window installation is a photoshopped antenna on their website.

So 10 out of 10 for announcing existing video server customers are now going go to test thier connectivity, but Iridium Certus is a 22/88kbps link.

Even iridium’s own Certus 100 land product “Iridium Executive” in its FAQ states. On wifi limited to 4 users text only.

That’s because Certus 100 is the equivalent of 1.5G. Whatsapp is not even that great on 3G with one user.

Over the years Airfi copying first said they are going to do free SMS and WhatsApp. They obviously realised you can’t do SMS over wifi as that’s a Telco service, so the story changed to free WhatsApp. They then realised Certus100 cost $3500 per Gb, so they then said pay for WhatsApp.

Now Aifi in this article are saying it’s webmail office 365 and gmail.

We have been doing email via Bluetooth for 10 years. If you could do it on wifi via narrowband I never would have invented our system.

Certus100 was built for one user to take a portable device into the outback and get some connectivity or, someone on a boat.

The other main function is IOT (Bluetooth) and drones. As it’s low latency it can do inflight payment but again only 2 active devices, as to many disconnects shut the system down.

I look forward to them one day actually flying Certus, as it will validate to an airline exactly what they can deliver via wifi.

To their credit they have a very good PR machine, but the only thing that will count in the end is, does it work as published and that answer will be a no.
