Inmarsat and FlyhtHi tibutch. Yes it is all about sofware. Flyht is essentially a software company. You need a device on the plane that contains the appropriate software to do the work-to monitor and analyze data, determine exceedences,determine what to stream and do the streaming etc. I'm sure Inmarsat has not independently developed and tested this capability. Thats why they are working with Flyht. Inmarsat is supplying the swiftbroadband unit and others are supplying the auxilliary hardware but I'm sure that Flyt's software is in the swiftbroadband box. Otherwise they would not need Flyht invoved in the testing at all.
Here is from the recent news release about the Inmarsat testing:
FLYHT will provide equipment and software, including its Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRS) product and UpTime Cloud flight management server, together with technical support for the flight trial. Note that its Flyt's software and technical support and UpTime server.
And this:
om Schmutz, FLYHT’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “This is a great opportunity for FLYHT to work directly with Inmarsat and install our newest technology solution on an aircraft that can demonstrate Inmarsat’s “Black Box in the Cloud” capability.
“FLYHT brings significant expertise in the areas of Autonomous Distress Tracking and the Timely Recovery of Flight Data and we look forward to testing our solution with Inmarsat and the other trial partners.”
Note that Inmarsat's "Black box in the Cloud" is called our newest technology solution by Mr. Schmutz.
And this directly from Flyht's news release:
eptember 19, 2017. This trial will demonstrate the use of FLYHT’s Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRSTM) to send data to the UpTimeTM Cloud management platform via Inmarsat’s secure IP broadband platform, SwiftBroadband-Safety (SB-S).
Tom Schmutz, FLYHT’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “This is a great opportunity for FLYHT to work directly with Inmarsat and install our newest technology solution on an aircraft that can test the “corner cases” for Inmarsat’s “Black Box in the Cloud” capability. FLYHT brings significant capability in the areas of Autonomous Distress Tracking and the Timely Recovery of Flight Data and we look forward to testing our solution with Inmarsat and the other trial partners."
Note that it is Flyht's technology that is sending the data via Inmarsat's platform and that it is Flyht's technology that makes up the corner cases for Inmarsat's "Black Box in the Cloud"capability.
In short, Flyht's technology all the way for Swiftbroadband's advanced capabilities.
