The new Sky Connect EXECUTIVE cordless satellite telephone system, manufactured by Icarus Instruments, allows maximum flexibility for cabin class aircraft. The system utilizes an Iridium transceiver permanently installed in the aircraft along with a base station for the cordless handsets. Worldwide coverage using the Iridium satellite network means no dead zones, handoff issues or dropped calls. No matter where in the world you are you will have continous coverage at very affordable rates.

With Sky Connect EXECUTIVE handset you are free to roam about the cabin. Any seat in the aircraft can now be used to make phone calls, including in the cockpit.

The handsets can be used as an intercom for communication between the cockpit and cabin. In addition, the cordless handsets can be used up to 300 feet from the aircraft, allowing use on the ground. The lightweight cordless handsets provide 10 hours of continuous talk time, with 150 hours of standby time. When the handsets are not in use, they stow in flush mount rechargeable cradles.

Sky Connect TRACKER may be added to the EXECUTIVE telephone system to provide real time aircraft tracking and messaging.
