Thuraya Aero brings a robust solution to military missions in surveillance, special ops, border protection and more by enabling distant aircraftsto stay in constant touch with headquarters via satellite communication. Pilots, crew, troops, commanders, generals and other military personnel can now send and receive real-time support, instructions and information through the same military IP network and secure VPN used at headquarters. The system is easy to use: it comprises a high gain satellite antenna installed atop the aircraft fuselage or tail and an aeronautical satellite modem that can be connected to various peripheral devices, such as a Wi-Fi transceiver and IP telephone.

Medevac helicopters and air ambulances installed with Aero have enhanced capabilities to meet the needs of soldiers, as the system transmits vital signs data directly to medical centers and hospitals.

Optimize your air travel time with Thuraya Aero which brings full IP satellite connectivity to your inflight experience. Aero’s airborne communication system is ideal for small- to medium aircrafts; it is easy to install and syncs with multiple peripheral devices, making office-in-the-sky a fully accessible reality. Additionally, the system is compact, works reliably in all kinds of weather and at any altitude, and offers customizations for low airtime costs.

Aero empowers business aviation with capabilities such as phone calls, text messaging, VOIP calls, video and audio conferencing, email and secure VPN web access. A VIP on board can be in constant control of business and personal dealings and can stay connected with anyone, anywhere, from the air. Simply use your smartphone and laptop to continue daily business activities with your team at home or close the deal with global partners via HD video conferencing, right from the comfort of your cabin.

With Aero, aircrafts on government operations can rely on a compact, robust and secure airborne communication system that uses Thuraya’s extensive L-band satellite network to deliver unified connectivity in all kinds of weather and across distances. The system allows project leaders, flight crew, and ground and marine personnel to stay in-the-loop and exchange mission-critical information via HD video streams, video conferencing, phone calls, text messages, fleet tracking and more. Aero’s system is easy to install and can sync with a variety of equipment and peripherals that are specific to government-centric aviation missions.

Aero provides multiple applications for civil defense, search and rescue (SAR), firefighting, coast guard and land patrolling operations. A coast guard aircraft monitoring fishing waters is better equipped to prevent trawling or pollution activities via full Internet and vessel database access. SAR aircrafts are similarly poised to provide emergency airlifts and aid those in danger via seamless airborne connectivity with land and sea personnel. Aero can also be used to coordinate with ground and maritime resources to provide a common operational picture; these assets may be on terrestrial communications such as 3G or Wifi or could be using a Thuraya maritime or mobile terminal on satellite.
