Airborne Internet

Definition Proposed network in which all nodes would be located in aircraft. Used in the following: Aviation communication Navigation Surveillance Time of war

Two reasons for Airborne Internet Development 1.Small Aircrafts Transportation System To speed up air travel Traffic control on management of small airplanes 2.Need for a higher bandwidth Used to allow greater amount of data to flow to and from the computer.

Comparison of Airborne Internet and Internet Parameters Internet Airborne Internet 1. Distance Of Communication Obstruction Low Very High 2. Line Of Sight Not Present Present 3. Antenna weight Can be high Must be low 4. Bandwidth Comparatively High Broad 5. Delay Not Significant

Features Seamless ubiquitous multimedia services. • Adaptation to end user environments. • Rapidly deployable to sites of opportunity. • Bandwidth on demand provides efficient use of available spectrum. • It helps to achieve a broader bandwidth.

Advantages Without time delay They don’t have to be launched on space overcome the last-mile barriers facing conventional Internet access options High-speed digital network Equipment upgrades while technology advanced

How Airborne Internet work?

Principle of Airborne Internet To establish a robust, reliable, and available digital data channel to aircraft. Establish digital data channel connection to the aircraft. It has been developed and has matured to the point that it is applied to aviation.

Applications track aircraft for the air traffic control system allow information to be sent from aircraft to aircraft without having to go through ground facilities Provide XML services capability to aircraft.
