The key to Air IP’s success is the ability to provide ample bandwidth for everyone onboard simultaneously. Users report consistent connectivity at over 140 mph and thousands of feet above the ground for up to ten devices.
The patented bonding technology keeps user data safe, constantly switching between towers and networks. Sterling Helicopter has completed the AW139 STC and developed a comprehensive kit with the installer in mind. The S76 series is expected to receive approval in Q2 2024, and the Bell 407 is close behind.
Marion County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit has added the Air IP to their new 407 and integrated the Air IP broadband Wi-Fi network with their ShotOver video mapping while delivering HD video streaming to the County’s Command Center.
“We take a lot of pride in bringing new capabilities to all our fellow Public Safety Officers and First Responders. We know our expectations are big, and we recognize that the Outerlink organization really stepped up to the challenge,” said Chief Pilot Darren Bruner.
“Simultaneously streaming multiple video streams to the ground while delivering critical County Dispatch data to the helicopter was a lot to ask, and we are very pleased with the innovation and support we have received. These new features are game changers, and we are happy we can pave the way for our industry.”
In addition to law enforcement, Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies are choosing Air IP for their aircraft. Outerlink will display the Air IP at Heli-Expo in Metro Aviation’s Booth #2922
