LA JOLLA, Calif., -- Blue Sky Network's BlueSkyLink C1000 satellite communications system has received FAA certification for permanent installation in aircraft. The new C1000 provides the opportunity for all aircraft owners and operators to have clear and consistent airborne coverage everywhere in the world at a fraction of the cost of current alternatives.
The C1000 in-cabin product leverages the worldwide coverage of the Iridium Satellite Network to deliver quality connectivity anytime, anywhere. The company will initially focus on the general and business aviation markets. The C1000, along with other creative BlueSkyLink and Motorola/Iridium solutions, will greatly enhance flight safety by allowing pilots and passengers to "stay in touch" with a simple call.
Gino Picasso, President and CEO of Iridium Satellite, said, "The aviation market represents one of the best uses of the Iridium Satellite Network. We are both fortunate and pleased with our close relationship to Blue Sky Network. Their FAA certification of this new satellite telephone product will provide aircraft owners and operators an outstanding value with very cost effective Iridium solutions. We look forward to our continued partnership with Blue Sky Network."
The BlueSkyLink C1000 kit will be available to customers the first week in June. The company said orders are currently being accepted.
