Communication onboard aircraft Francois Courau ETSI MSG Chairman

This submission outlines ETSI's achievements in harmonizing EN for GSM onboard aircraft systems. Airlines are testing SMS and multimedia messaging, with voice service now being integrated. Future plans involve full deployment by ONAIR and potential generalization to intercontinental flights.

  3. Highlight of Current Activities (1) • ETSI has two main achievements • Harmonized EN for the GSM onboard aircraft system covering the essential requirements of Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive • Was published asEN 302 480 Ver. 1.1.2 • Was sent to the European commission on 2008-04-24 • is planned to soon be published in the Official Journal of the European Union • Consequence: from the 2008/07/17 equipment to be put onboard aircraft to provide telecommunication services can be put in place all over Europe. • Several Airlines companies have already started to deliver Short Messages and Multimedia messages to passengers on an experimental basis to test the acceptability by customers: • in phase 1 customers on board the aircraft could send/receive SMS and multimedia messages but the voice-service was disabled, • in phase 2 (which started April 2008) voice as well as data was made available onboard the aircraft.

  4. Strategic Direction • Following the testing period, full operation is planned by ONAIR • The deployment of such a system in Europe if successful may push ONAIR and Airlines to look for generalization of the system to intercontinental flight • This will involve further collaboration between PSOs in the field of preventing the system to be harmful to other terrestrial system. • Other technology could be foreseen in the future as new technologies are now under worldwide deployment asking for similar type of service to be available for them.
