SWIFT 64 HOME

Airborne and online with Swift64
Aircraft operators hate downtime and so do their business passengers. Swift64 gives air travellers the communications and information access they need to go on doing business en route and help operators make the most of the profit potential of their aircraft.
Swift64 is one of the highest performing in-flight communications service on offer to airlines, their passengers and business aviation. Available worldwide via the satellites of Inmarsat, the global mobile communications company, Swift64 brings high-speed e-mail and internet access to the airways for the first time.

Swift64 provides secure, reliable data communications at speeds of up to 64kbit/s. For air travellers almost anywhere, this means quick and easy access to e-mail, the Internet and company networks, while flight and cabin crews can work continuously with the ground-based information systems they need to operate their aircraft efficiently and economically.
Inmarsat Swift64 is delivered to airlines and business aircraft operators through a number of service providers and manufacturers that form part of the Inmarsat Partnership. The manufacturers supply the avionics needed to link the aircraft with ground networks via the Inmarsat satellites. The service providers act like a phone company or ISP on the ground, providing connectivity, billing and other value-added services.

Swift64 offers two types of data service — Mobile ISDN and Internet Protocol (IP) - based Mobile Packet Data service — globally available to aircraft in flight. Swift64 avionics are compatible with the proven Inmarsat antennas and onboard infrastructure already installed on most of the world's long-haul airliners, as well as a large part of the corporate jet fleet.

Swift64 is the latest step in the evolution of services for the aviation community that began when Inmarsat became the world's first provider of aeronautical satellite communications in the early 1990s. The months and years to come will see a steady stream of new offerings as Inmarsat introduces new and more powerful satellites capable of meeting the growing demand for broadband data services.
