Viasat Rehearsal

About

Join us to explore Viasat’s ATS B2 satcom datalink (Iris) - a multilink data comm solution already in operation to address continental frequency congestion.

This webinar will cover how Viasat’s secure, high-capacity, consistent latency satellite technology supports your road to trajectory-based operations and digital air traffic management through the sharing of Extended Projected Profile from the Flight Management System via ADS-C, and IP connectivity for data intensive applications.

Learn how you can effectively accommodate the anticipated growth in air traffic from conventional aircraft and new airspace users such as drones and air taxis.

Attendees will learn:

• Updates and results of using ATS B2 satcom datalink in Europe
• How the multilink data comm solution works in tandem with VDL M2
• How satellite technology supports trajectory-based operations (EPP via ADS-C)
• How satcom supports the anticipated growth in air traffic
