[SatNews] Thrane & Thrane new streaming developments for its cutting-edge AVIATOR 350 and AVIATOR 700 SwiftBroadband solutions. The developments follow Inmarsat's launch of the SB X-Stream service, which has enabled Thrane & Thrane to significantly enhance the data streaming capability of its HGA (High Gain Antenna) SwiftBroadband solutions.

The Inmarsat SB X-Stream service provides streaming data at rates above 256Kbps, enabling higher quality of service and more data to be streamed at a faster rate, supporting a wide-range of applications within business, military and government sectors. Thrane & Thrane's AVIATOR 350 and AVIATOR 700 solutions use HGAs to provide users with full 'broadband-in-the-sky' functionality which includes an extensive range of voice, data and video services. The solutions will incorporate the new Inmarsat SB X-Stream service with immediate effect, as no change in hardware for existing SwiftBroadband approved products is required.

Thrane & Thrane introduced the AVIATOR brand across its SwiftBroadband product portfolio in April of 2010. The existing Aero-SB Lite offering became the Thrane & Thrane AVIATOR 300 with Low Gain Antenna (LGA) and the AVIATOR 350 with High Gain Antenna (HGA), while the flagship Aero-SB+ became the AVIATOR 700. AVIATOR now covers Thrane & Thrane's entire SwiftBroadband product portfolio.
