Controlling an aircraft is no easy feat; pilots must be highly skilled, and even then, they rely on a host of instruments and equipment to successfully manage their aircraft. Satellite technology can improve the ability of a crew to pilot their aircraft by providing safe, reliable access to the internet. Many aircraft, especially smaller planes, designed to hold a small number of passengers or light cargo, can benefit from the use of satellite technology in their cockpits. Satellite internet can be used by pilots to gain up to date information on weather conditions, as well as an additional method of determining the proximity of other planes in the area. Satellites can also be used by aircraft for communication in a wide variety of places, places where radio may not reach. With a network of satellites in orbit, global coverage is possible, and with the right equipment, aircrew will have no reason to fear potential losses in communication as they travel.

            UStronics provides a wide assortment of satellite equipment suitable for use within aircraft cockpits. Products, such as the Aviator 350D, allow for broadband connections within the cockpit of an airplane. The internet link provided by the Aviator 350D is more than sufficient for the purposes of safety. Aircrew can use the link to monitor weather, the locations of other planes, and to use SATCOM voice communications as a way of contacting other aircraft, as well as the ground. The Aviator 350D provides speeds of up to 432 kbps, which is more than enough for these purposes. Through UStronics, airlines, businesses, and other organizations that operate aircraft can acquire the Aviator 350D, and products like it, for their own use. By doing so, they can ensure the safety of their operations and make the job of their pilots much more comfortable, improving the overall performance of their aircraft.
