Nelco, a Tata Enterprise entity and VSAT solutions provider on Wednesday
announced the launch of Aero in-flight communication (IFC) services in
India.
Nelco is the first Indian company to provide this service
in the country, marking the beginning of a new era of WiFi on aircraft
in Indian skies.
The company has entered into a partnership with Panasonic Avionics Corporation for offering these services.
With
the launch of these services, it will be possible for international
aircraft flying over India as well as domestic airlines to offer
broadband Internet services to its passengers on board.
The Aero
IFC services will enable seamless at-home and in-office experience in
the skies for airline passengers. Further, it gives an opportunity for
airlines to differentiate with others, enhance passenger experience,
drive passenger loyalty, open up additional onboard revenue streams and
optimize flight operations, a company statement said.
Vistara has
already signed up for Aero IFC services and is likely to be the first
domestic airline company to launch these services very soon.
In
December 2018, the Government of India announced the licenses for
In-Flight and Maritime Communications (IFMC) that allows broadband
Internet services while flying over the Indian skies and sailing in
Indian waters, both for international and Indian aircraft and vessels.
The IFMC license is a key initiative of the Telecom Ministry, a move to liberalise satellite communication services in India.
Nelco
obtained the IFMC licence and is the first Indian company to enable
communication services for the maritime and airlines sectors in India
Currently,
Nelco is the only company in India that has successfully
operationalised the entire scope of the IFMC license comprising both,
the Aero In-Flight Communication and Maritime Communication services.
