Iridium Safety Voice

Airlines in large quantities change the high-frequency radio systems for reliable and safe complexes of satellite communication

The Safety Voice services used for communication on aircrafts as of February of the 2017th are set more than on 500 by airplanes. The Iridium Safety Voice system is an alternative to the existing high-frequency radio systems, offering the protected telecommunication on satellite channels.

The Iridium Safety Voice system is distinguished by a special order of connection onboard, with step-by-step authentication of the user - in addition to the priority system of calls that urgent communication was not interrupted at all.

An opportunity to add a satellite system on Iridium network as an alternative HF радиосистеме is a number of additional benefits. Lower requirements to energy consumption, smaller weight of the equipment, the best quality and level of a covering belong to them that finally leads to increase in efficiency of all onboard systems and to fuel economy.

In August of the 2015th the Federal Aviation Administration (the Federal Aviation Administration, FAA) distributed the message for aviaoperators (‘Information for Operators’, InFo), having warned them about the changes which are becoming effective according to directive No. 106. Registers in the document that the operator can use one high-frequency radio system and one platform for satellite communication (SATCOM) for runs along the West Atlantic routes (the West Atlantic Routing System, WATRS).
