WiFi - Wherever You Are?

.

This once mega-idea of creating a virtual airborne worldwide web has turned into a monumental reality: Commercial aircraft are used as “mini-satellites”.  AWN’s primary target customer-base will be worldwide data and communications service providers.
.
Airborne Wireless Network has created a network that will provide live streaming to monitor the health of systems on planes, locomotives, ships, help emergency responders and produce a WIFI service that allows for passengers to have a better uninterrupted “WIFI” experience while they travel. In addition, the onboard hardware can support aircraft to aircraft awareness and monitoring, bringing far more safety to the skies.

Patented Technology
In 1998, during the pioneering days of wireless data-connectivity, the Network's inventor submitted a patent application to the US patent and trademark office, and on September 4, 2001, US patent #US 6,285,878 B1 was granted.  A few days later, an event occurred, which changed the airline industry and which would delay development of this disruptive technology for a number of years.  In 2016, AWN acquired this patent and intends to further develop and deploy this technology.

A Virtual Airborne “Worldwide Web”
Because it is a meshed network, it is like a web where all nodes are connected via multiple links. With traditional “single link-systems”, such as most cell-tower and satellite systems. There are no single points of failure as there is nearly always another aircraft, ship or earth-station within range of an aircraft.

Easy to Update, Upgrade or Servicing
As new software becomes available, the system can be easily updated.  When new and more efficient data-transmission technologies emerge, upgrading AWN’s system can be as easy as replacing a single module, and the system is ready for “the future”.  The Network is never obsolete.  Satellite technology, on the other hand, in most cases, has already been surpassed by the time a satellite is launched.  These cannot be upgraded or serviced once launched.
.
No Space Junk
Unlike satellites, which can be disabled or knocked out of orbit by space-junk, AWN’s system operates in a safe and controlled environment, typically between 20,000 and 40,000 feet (6,000-12,000 m).  Space junk has been known to cause serious damage to commercial and military satellites.

Airborne Wireless Network are working to provide you with something that will have the world of technology “soaring” into the future.
