By 2030, the
number of active
air transport and
business aircraft is
expected to grow to nearly
85,000 – with 80 percent
of those equipped with new
information-enabled systems.
In today’s interconnected aviation ecosphere, the right information at the right time can lead to ever-higher levels of safety, efficiency and engagement.
That’s why we’ve invested in a robust portfolio of systems and services that deliver a seamless, secure and integrated experience — from information-enabled avionics and cabin systems to global communications networks and services and airport information solutions.
And that integration is leading us down exciting new paths of growth, developing applications and services that leverage that global portfolio to bring new value to our customers by improving safety, maintenance, flight operations and more.
Rockwell Collins’ satellite connectivity offerings include Inmarsat’s new Global Xpress network, which offers high-speed connectivity for business jets and air transport aircraft, enabling connected office and entertainment in the sky like never before.
New aircraft mandates, including FANS-1/A and ADS-B Out, are leading to on-board upgrades and enhanced use of our air-to-ground network for business and air transport aircraft alike.
Our new onboard subscription- based media streaming solution for corporate and private aircraft cabins enables passengers to wirelessly access media — including Hollywood movies, TV shows and real-time news, sports and weather forecasts — from an onboard server.
Our new ARINC MultiLinkSM flight tracking service brings together multiple data sources to reliably report the location of an aircraft anywhere in the world.
Our ARINCDirectSM flight support services provide business jet operators with a suite of tools and services, from flight planning and following to up-to-the-minute weather data. And we were ranked No. 1 for Best International Trip Support in the 2015 Professional Pilot PRASE Survey.
We are collaborating with Inmarsat and Hawaiian Airlines to evaluate the effectiveness of using SwiftBroadband satellite services to relay voice and crucial data links, potentially adding an additional option for transmitting mission-critical data.
Rockwell Collins’ wide range of airport solutions for air traffic control, passenger processing, and airport operations and communications can be found at more than 125 airports around the world, including seven of the 10 busiest in the world. This year Hong Kong International Airport selected Rockwell Collins to deploy 120 common use self-service bag drop systems, making one of the largest such projects in the world.
In-flight credit card sales are an important source of revenue for airlines, but fraudulent transactions cost airlines millions each year. Our live credit card authorizations — launched with Hong Kong Airlines this year — can reduce risk of fraud while enhancing efficiency and passenger satisfaction.
The combination of the high-speed connectivity of Inmarsat’s GX network and our PAVES™ Wireless cabin offers flexible and fast browsing for air transport passengers around the globe. Jazeera Airways selected this solution for their fleet of Airbus A320s, to be launched in December 2016.
Rockwell Collins’ private global ground-to-ground networks effectively and efficiently manage the delivery of crucial data, from air traffic control messages to passenger reservations.
More than 50 million ACARS data-link messages travel over our ARINC GLOBALink™ air-to-ground network each month. This year we announced expansion and upgrades of our network to increase capacity throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
