Honeywell Signs In-Flight Cell Call Deal
Honeywell entered a contract this week with AltoBridge, Ltd. to enable
aircraft passengers to place and receive calls on their personal cellular
telephones in flight. Honeywell successfully completed a flight test of
its system using AltoBridge software in August 2004 under an experimental
license granted by the Federal Communications Commission. The test showed
that Honeywell.s system does not interfere with the ground cellular system
or the aircraft.s navigation and communication systems. The on-board
system directs personal cellular phones to use their lowest power level.
AltoBridge will provide technology enabling full incoming and outgoing
voice and text messaging without interference with aircraft systems or the
ground cellular network. Honeywell.s onboard cellular phone system
initially will work with GSM cellular networks. The agreement calls for
AltoBridge to integrate the Honeywell system with other cellular networks
and wireless technologies in the future. Honeywell plans to have the
system available for installation on aircraft by mid-2005.
