ZTE, Qualcomm and Aircell to launch the industry's first airborne mobile broadband system

ZTE, a subsidiary of telecommunications equipment and network Solutions provider ZTE Inc., ZTE USA, and the leading wireless technology and data solutions development and innovation maker Qualcomm has announced that both sides have cooperated with Aircell to create a network platform for Aircell's new air Internet service Gogo. The platform was the first to serve part of American Airlines ' Anglo Airlines in August this year. The Aircell (AIR-TO-GROUND,ATG) service is based on ZTE's EV version a base station and IP switching platform, as well as Qualcomm's airborne modems. ZTE, Aircell and Qualcomm's research and development team work closely together to launch this customized solution designed to maximize air service performance.

ZTE's base stations are located throughout the United States to support Aircell Aviation customer service. During the flight, the user's WiFi traffic was transmitted via Qualcomm's airborne modem to ZTE's CDMA EV version a network device. The technology is designed to connect the aircraft to the base station at high speed and altitude, greatly improving the previously slow, expensive and complex air wireless services.

In terms of this service, through close cooperation with Aircell and Qualcomm, we can build the most advanced and flexible network platform with the best research and development talent. We look forward to expanding the platform with Aircell and Qualcomm to meet growing market demand and support future expansion of the service. ”

"Qualcomm is delighted to work with Aircell and ZTE to successfully launch this unique wireless data innovation service," said Ahmad Jalali, Qualcomm's technology vice president. The transmission of aircraft passenger traffic to ZTE's ground base station requires strong, high spectral efficiency, high data rate connectivity, and EV version A is the ideal choice. ”

When we design the industry's first airborne mobile broadband service, we are looking for companies to work with us to create a flexible and customized network platform optimized for our unique ATG services. "We finally decided to work with ZTE and Qualcomm," said Joe Cruz, executive vice president and chief technology officer of Aircell. Through our cooperation, we have launched the only comprehensive air Internet service in North America to provide customers with the most advanced air broadband experience. The
