Smallest and lightest SwiftBroadband solution receives PC-12 STC

Thrane & Thrane has announced that its cutting-edge AVIATOR 200 SwiftBroadband solution has received a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the system’s installation with in-flight Wi-Fi aboard Pilatus PC-12/45, PC-12/47 and PC-12/47E aircraft. The STC follows the successful installation and testing of the AVIATOR 200, which was carried out by Thrane & Thrane partner Pro Star Aviation and includes the system’s use for Wi-Fi.

“We are pleased to announce the successful installation and testing of Thrane & Thrane’s AVIATOR 200 which has resulted in a STC for the system’s use on-board all Pilatus PC-12 Aircraft,” comments Kevin Harriman, Pro Star Aviation, General Manager. “The AVIATOR 200 offers the perfect broadband and voice solution for the PC-12. Practical and affordable, the system is easily installed and provides simple to use communications for multiple users on-board.”

Thrane & Thrane’s AVIATOR 200 is an exceptionally compact, lightweight system that offers reliable, affordable connectivity to provide users with a range of services including data, video and voice. With built-in Wi-Fi capability, the AVIATOR 200 allows aircraft operators to offer wireless connectivity on-board, to support the use of Wi-Fi enabled devices such as laptops, tablets and smart phones.

Andy Beers, Director of Aeronautical Sales Americas, comments: “By utilizing a low gain antenna, the AVIATOR 200 offers in-flight broadband communication to virtually any size aircraft. Receipt of the PC-12 STC is another key step forward in making the system available to the widest range of aircraft possible, enabling a new segment of users to take advantage of modern in-flight communications, provided by the system.”

Thrane & Thrane’s innovative AVIATOR 200 is the smallest and lightest system in its cutting-edge SwiftBroadband product portfolio and utilizes Inmarsat’s SwiftBroadband 200 service. AVIATOR 200 simultaneously provides data speeds up to 200 Kbps and a single AMBE 2 channel for voice calls, providing a complete airborne communications solution previously unavailable to aircraft below a certain size.
