NEW YORK, March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AS-IP Tech, Inc. (USOTC: IPTK) announced today installation of the first fflya Bluetooth connectivity kit onboard a Wizz Air UK Airbus A321.
AS-IP's President Ron Chapman said, "A key component of the installation is our revolutionary window antenna system. We wanted a certified system that was simple to install with minimal components. The installation was carried out by Storm Aviation Limited in co-operation with Wizz Air UK Technical services."
The original concept of a Bluetooth passenger network connecting via Iridium utilising a window antenna was tested by AS-IP in 2010. By 2016 we had commercialised the first dual window antenna installation on a private jet. In 2018 we embarked on the airline version conducting further tests with a dual Iridium platform on an Airbus A340.
AS-IP selected Iridium Next which when combined with fflya's Bluetooth App Network and custom gateways is the perfect formulae for delivering bursty data including, messaging, payment and telemetry.
Next step is ground testing to support airline operational approval.
