ESATO NEWS

Ericsson introduces its newly developed GSM system on Aircraft, allowing airplane passengers to use their mobile phones on board commercial aircrafts.



Travelers of today demand full GSM access, also in flight. The demand is to reach and to be reachable.The time has come now when mobile phones also can and will be integrated into the commercial fleet of airliners.

Ulf Ewladsson, Vice President Product Management GSM says: "GSM is the largest mobile communications standard in the world and is used in every country. Consumers demand coverage anytime and anywhere.This is why Ericsson now is making mobile telephony available on board aircrafts and ships."

Ericsson has developed an airborne version of the world's most sold radio base station in the RBS 2000 family, the RBS 2708. The new radio base station offers Ericsson state of the art quality and ease of operation. Its functionally is identical to terrestrial systems and it has a well-recognized reliability.

For the traditional Ericsson customers - the telecom operators - the RBS 2708 will be 'just another cell' in the network. An operator can manage this system just as they handle all other radio base stations.Only a few special procedures will be required to operate this boost
to revenues.

Airlines will be able to offer an added-value service to their passengers. The ordinary aircraft crew can handle the GSM on Aircraft system, with a minimum of extra workload, and allow passengers to place and receive calls when at cruising altitude.

Fully integrated with an Electromagnetic Screening Device (EMSD) and housed in an Avionics standard enclosure of ARINC 600 type,the equipment is easy to install and safe in operation: not interfering with neither avionics nor terrestrial radio networks.The system offers up to 60 simultaneous calls and also offers dual band support as an option.

i think they shoudl have a few booths somewhere for people to go in while talking on their phone. plane rides are meant to be peaceful, not like the mall or something. it will be good for those cards that you can put in your laptop with your GSM card though.

Ahh phones on during the inflight movies.. SMS tones going off.. multiplayer games with people in other rows to pass the time.. bluejacking unsuspecting people in first class and business class that their phone may explode..

The possibilities are endless!

i agree with the booth thing.
OR perhaps a 'talking time" where you can talk in a certain time, then the signal is blocked so you cant.

kinda like the old smoking curtain on planes..

They could also designate a section that is closed off, that also has charger plugs too so that if you're going to use one you don't annoy everyone else.

Given how aircraft are though, those areas will no doubt be right by the toilets so that theres 2 long lines you have to face.
