Problem
Aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles operating beyond visual line of sight often lack reliable two-way communication, making real-time data exchange, navigation updates, and passenger entertainment difficult in regions without terrestrial networks.
Solution
Kinematic Link offers integrated satellite messaging and inflight connectivity solutions that combine Iridium Certus, Viasat, and low-profile antenna kits (including Starlink Mini) with a Wi‑Fi router and in‑flight entertainment (IFE) system. The platform provides bidirectional data links with speeds up to 88 kbps and optional 4G/LTE redundancy for continuous connectivity. Customers receive a complete avionics network kit that includes mounting hardware, power management, and ARINC‑429 interfaces, enabling seamless integration into existing aircraft systems. The solution supports both BVLOS missions and commercial flights, delivering real-time internet, telemetry, and streaming media from a single, compact package.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operators of BVLOS drones, regional airlines, and aircraft manufacturers seeking reliable satellite communication and passenger entertainment solutions.
