Ovzon sets new benchmark for High Bandwidth to Rotary Wing Aircraft
Ovzon recently set a new benchmark for bringing satellite bandwidth to helicopters in flight. Flying in heavy rain on a Blackhawk helicopter, Ovzon’s satellite service brought simultaneous 17Mbps transmit and 17Mbps receive throughout the flight. The demonstration was carried out using an Ovzon steerable satellite beam, and enabled simultaneous transmission of high definition video and a multiparty video teleconference from the aircraft.“Getting this amount of bandwidth ‘through the rotors’ is unprecedented and we’re excited to have shown our steerable spot beams enabling helicopter
