[Satellite Today 03-10-09] TriaGnoSys is set to reveal a next-generation Newsky Network air traffic control service that integrates satellite technology to provide graphical weather maps, Voice Over IP and passenger Internet connectivity, the company announced March 9.
    TriaGnoSys’ role in Newsky is the design, implementation and integration of a demonstrator test-bed to show the integration of IPv6-based satellite and air-to-ground communications.
    “Using a combination of existing Inmarsat satellite technology and developing terrestrial communications links, in this case L-DACS1 as a prototype, we will be able to show ‘true air’ transmissions, not emulated links,” Markus Werner, managing director of TriaGnoSys, said in a statement.
    The company said further air traffic services applications are under development, as well as applications for airline operation communications, airline administrative correspondence, and inflight passenger communications.
