System description
The AVIATOR 700 is a unique multi-channel solution. It combines global
voice, fax and data capabilities of the Inmarsat Classic Aero,
SwiftBroadband and Swift64 service.
These service classes are available on two satellite types: the I4 and I3
satellites. The AVIATOR 700 system supports both types and manages
automatic satellite hand-over between the satellites. This means 100%
worldwide coverage for data and phone services.
For detailed information on services and coverage maps see Aero services
— background information on page 15.
The Classic Aero services are available on both I3 and I4 satellites,
while data services using SwiftBroadband are available exclusively
on I4 satellites. The AVIATOR 700 system uses Swift Broadband
for data services whenever possible. Swift64 is used as a fallback
solution for areas where SwiftBroadband is not available.
