Doing Business at the Speed of Flight

The SDR is the center of your connectivity experience, providing unmatched advantages in the air and on the ground. The router facilitates user connectivity onboard the aircraft, enabling laptops, tablets and smartphones to do their jobs so the pilots and passengers stay productive at every altitude. But not all routers are created equal. The SDR goes beyond the basics, allowing for superior optimization and customization of the onboard network for the very best inflight internet experience. Plus, the power of the SDR goes beyond the cabin; the SDR collects aircraft performance information to enhance flight operations management tools, including telemetry and position data, fuel indications, operational parameters and more. With its own module in SD Pro, the customer flight ops team can see detailed usage and performance information in real time, and can make adjustments as needed to support optimal network use.
