Cobham’s AVIATOR LCS selected by Spirit Airlines
Cobham Aerospace Communications announced Spirit Airlines has selected Cobham’s Light Cockpit Satcom (LCS) SwiftBroadband system. The LCS, also known as AVIATOR 200S, is suitable for a wide range of single-aisle and wide-bodied aircraft. Providing secure, segregated Cockpit Safety and Internet Protocol (IP) data and voice communications over the Inmarsat SwiftBroadband-Safety (SB-S) satellite communications network, the AVIATOR 200S system represents a dynamic evolution in aircraft cockpit communications. Compared to previous generation / legacy satellite communication systems, 200S offers two segregated aircraft communication domains, an 80-times increase in data-transfer capacity, as well as safety services-approved ACARS and SATVOICE. Secured by VPN/IPsec, and in addition to expanded communication capabilities, the 200S system offers SWaP (Size, Weight, & Power) metrics superior to all current SATCOM systems. The versatile 200S is EASA Certified (TC), paving the way for this Light Cockpit SATCOM installation on Airbus A320 Family, A330, and A350 platforms.
