    System Functionality and Safety


    The system is designed to guarantee that passengers cell phones will operate in a mode compliant with aviation and telecommunication regulatory requirements, that is: The system operates during the cruise phase only. It will work in compliance with all conditions set out by the relevant regulatory bodies. The cell phones will not attempt to log on to terrestrial networks flown over during the flight. The cell phones will transmit at power levels far lower than in typical terrestrial environments. Consequently, the emitted power will not interfere with aircraft equipment. System monitoring and selection of data only or voice & data service mode from the cabin. System switch-off from cockpit.

    System Installation
    The GSM on Board is based on existing industrial technology adapted for use on aircraft. The installation must be done in conjunction with the Inmarsat SwiftBoardBand system which connects the GSM on Board to the ground telephony network.

    Cabin Installation
    The following equipment will be installed in the cabin: The crew Control Panel in the forward attendant area. The Rx Antenna, the Base Transceiver Station and the On Board Control equipment above the cabin ceiling. The Aircraft GSM Server, the Cabin Satellite Data Unit (satellite modem) as well as the SDU Configuration Module in an overhead storage compartment. The emission antenna (Leaky Line) in the ceiling along the whole length of the cabin. The Diplexer Low Noise Amplifier located near to the external satellite antenna. The PSU channel will be modified to replace the No Smoking sign by a No Telephone pictogram.

    Cockpit Installation
    A control switch installed in the cockpit will allow the captain to switch off the system.
