[SatNews] ARINC Incorporated has announced the launch of two new remote ground stations (RGS).

These new RGS are in Langkawi and Miri, Malaysia, and will enhance aviation data link communications services in the country. The deployment is in line with ARINC’s plan to expand GLOBALink(sm)/VHF coverage in Asia-Pacific and brings the total of ARINC remote ground stations in Malaysia to seven, including current installations in Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu and Penang. The new deployments were accomplished in collaboration with Telekom Malaysia Berhad, and will provide domestic and international carriers with better air ground data link communications. ARINC also plans to deploy three more RGS in the country later this year. The new stations will provide enhanced in-flight data transfer and communications between airline operations and aircraft flight decks, enabling greater efficiency and on-time performance.
