Demonstrations of the AVIATOR 200 are taking place at the Banyan booth (3007) throughout the exhibition, which will show how Wi-Fi(TM) enabled devices such as the Apple® iPad(TM) use the AVIATOR 200 to connect to Wi-Fi for an extensive range of applications.
"Utilizing AVIATOR 200 connectivity, Wi-Fi enabled PDA devices including Blackberry®, iPhone® and iPad offer a multitude of applications, ranging from weather updates for the pilot to recreational use by passengers in the cabin," comments Brian Wilson, Director of Avionics, Banyan Air Services (FXE). "The Banyan team is available throughout LABACE to handle operation, installation and service enquiries about the Thrane & Thrane AVIATOR 200 solution. Visitors to our booth can also find information on Thrane & Thrane's latest SwiftBroadband solutions and services which includes low gain, intermediate gain and high gain antenna options, to meet any aircraft requirement."
To mark Thrane & Thrane's introduction of the AVIATOR 200 at LABACE, visitors to the Banyan booth will be offered the opportunity to enter a competition to win an Apple iPad, by providing their business card to a member of the Banyan team. The innovative Thrane & Thrane AVIATOR 200 provides an exceptionally compact, lightweight system that offers reliable, affordable connectivity to the broadest range of aircraft possible. The system simultaneously provides data speeds up to 200 Kbps and a single AMBE 2 channel for voice calls, providing smaller aircraft with a complete airborne communications solution where this was not achievable before. These data and voice services can be accessed via wired or wireless connections built into the AVIATOR 200, alleviating the need for external wired and wireless routers.
Ensuring the transparency of its SwiftBroadband services, Thrane & Thrane has introduced the AVIATOR brand across its entire SwiftBroadband product portfolio. The existing Aero-SB Lite offering is now the Thrane & Thrane AVIATOR 300 with Intermediate Gain Antenna (IGA) and the AVIATOR 350 with High Gain Antenna (HGA), while the flagship Aero-SB+ is now the AVIATOR 700. AVIATOR has quickly become a brand name synonymous with the power of Inmarsat SwiftBroadband and innovative SwiftBroadband terminal technology for business and commercial aircraft communication and covers Thrane & Thrane's entire SwiftBroadband product range.
