The following table provides a brief overview of different communication service providers (CSPs) that could potentially provide or support the development of real-
Equipage rates - 80% of wide bodies are equipped.
NOTE – It is important to note that the content in the table is limited to those organizations who participated or contributed to the work of the Working Group.
Current safety connec- tivity products - Electronic flight bags. - Electronic flight instruments. - Flight data computer systems.
Experience with "event-triggered" systems Yes ARINC and SIT A spe- cialize in software employed by A TC/ AOC ground units, which includes pro- grams designed to interpret aircraft flight data in real time.
Is the data link certified for safety communications? Yes ARINC and SIT A both use Inmarsat L-band and a series of VHF/HF ground networks.
