Packet switched service
The IP-based packet-switched service provides a data rate of up to 432
kbps. The packet switched service offers two types of connection: In
Standard IP mode, the service is shared among users of the system,
providing a 'best effort' service. This type of connection is ideal for e-mail,
file transfer, and Internet and intranet access. The user pays for the data
sent and received. This type of connection is also called Background IP.
You can also use the SwiftBroadband service at a pre-determined quality of
service, i.e. with a specified streaming data rate. This service is called
Streaming IP. This type of connection is ideal for time critical applications
like live video over IP. The user pays for the duration of the connection (per
minute charge)

SwiftBroadband provides a generic messaging service for
sending and receiving messages to and from the AVIATOR 700
system.
