ASO allows you to custom tailor your SwiftBroadband needs with the most
service plans
in the industry. Plans are available for pay as you go or take advantage of savings through monthly,
quarterly or annual billing. Air Sat One also offers even more savings for fleet operators with discounted price
points and allowing airtime to be shared between aircraft in the fleet.
Our SwiftBroadband Satcom service combined with Air Sat One's
FlightStream SA
means we outperform the competition with advanced features that are deployed on a global network
(video)
as opposed to our competition that uses a single point location. FlightStream SA does not require any hardware to
be installed on the aircraft and does not require software or apps to be installed on passenger devices.
Changes can be made anytime, anywhere the aircraft is located. Air Sat One offers our FlightStream SA for free;
while this expensive technology may cut into our margins, we feel the benefit to our customers outweighs the cost.
Our FlightStream AOC
specialized Wi-Fi router can be added to just about any Satcom system and will provide faster page load times
while at the same time your Satcom system will use less data. Depending on data usage, the FlightStream AOC will
pay for itself in no time.
