Eclipse Appointed as Reseller of Mobile OnAir

Eclipse has been appointed as a reseller of OnAir’s new light-weight airborne connectivity solution, Mobile OnAir.

Mobile OnAir provides passengers with inflight mobile phone connectivity, as well as mobile data facilitating office-in-the-sky applications, via laptops and smart phones.

OnAir provides global coverage, based on a very wide network of regulatory authorisations and roaming agreements, combined with global satellite coverage, thanks to Inmarsat’s SwiftBroadband. The onboard hardware for OnAir’s solution consists of only two line replaceable units (LRUs) and provides the levels of connectivity that the business aviation and government sectors need. Eclipse will add the OnAir solution to their current portfolio of solutions for these markets.

Ian Dawkins, CEO of OnAir said, “Eclipse’s strong standing in the business jet and government markets will allow OnAir to reach out to those sectors, and provide the level of service our customers demand.”

In addition to providing equipment and airtime, OnAir and Eclipse are working with industry partners to develop and deliver additional Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) packages for a wide range of aircraft, covering hardware installations and electromagnetic transmission. Working closely with industry partners allows modification and completion centers to provide the cutting edge technology their customers demand while de-risking the projects by working with the leaders in this field.

Marc Pinault, Eclipse General Manager said, “We are proud to be working with OnAir to offer our customers the most up to date airborne connectivity options available today. Heads of State and VVIP passengers cannot afford to be out of contact during flights and the OnAir services allow the customer to maintain the level of connectivity they require using their mobile phone and data devices.”
