SIP-enabled wireless IP handset or smartphone
The AVIATOR 200/300/350 system has in integrated SIP server. If your
mobile phone or smartphone is a SIP enabled IP handset, it has a SIP client.
Then you can set it up and use it to make phone calls or use other data
services using the SwiftBroadband service.
Once set-up, you can use the SIP-enabled IP handset as a local phone during
flight. When calling you use the SwiftBroadband service and the
SwiftBroadband mobile numbers. The call costs will be charged to the
SwiftBroadband subscriber. The call receiver will be called up from the
system’s 870 number (Area code for Inmarsat satcom services).
When your device is connected to the SIP server of the AVIATOR
200/300/350 system you cannot be called at your own mobile number and
you cannot send or receive SMS messages.
Where to get a SIP client application
If your smartphone does not have a SIP client, you can download one e.g.
from one of the links below:
• Apple iPhone App store (www.apple.com/iphone/from-the-app-store/)
• Android Market (www.androidauthority.com)
Check whether your mobile phone or PDA has a wireless interface
and an integrated SIP client.
The SIP client is a third party application. Cobham SATCOM does
not offer technical support for it.
