 INTRODUCTION
It is a private secure and reliable peer-to-peer
aircraft communications network that uses the
same technology as the commercial Internet.
AI began as a supporting technologies for NASA’s
& SATS.
It provides fleet operations and passengers
support services.
 AIRBORNE INTERNET
Airborne Internet is a proposed network in which all nodes will be located in
aircraft. The network is intended for use in aviation communications,
navigations and surveillance(CNS) and would be useful in businesses private
internet users and government agencies especially the military.
 NETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES AND
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
POWERLINE TECHNOLOGY:
Way to connect computers in home or office using electrical
wiring.
Connect computer to network through the outlet that provides
power.
 NETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES AND
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
WIRELESS NETWORKING:
Creates network by sending Infra-Red or Radio signals between
computers.
• BLUETOOTH:
Will allow any sort of electronic equipment to communicate with
each other.
Bluetooth like Radio communications should take place of wires or
Infra-red signals for connecting devices.
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM

1G Technology
2G Technology
3G Technology
4G Technology
5G Technology
 WHY AI?
• There are mainly two reasons for developing the AI.
1. SATS(small aircraft transportation system )
2. Need for higher bandwidth.
SATS:
Controls traffic in air.
Provides internet for the people in the transit.
HIGH BANDWIDTH:
Around 1- 5 mbps for home users
Around 5- 25 mbps for home users
 PRINCIPLES:
To establish a robust, reliable,and available digital data channel to aircraft.

Mobile routing is an ability of a network user to move from one network to

another without losing connectivity.

It uses TCP/IP protocol.

It uses the network called HALO(High Altitude Long Operation)

WORKING OF AIRBORNE INTERNET
 IMPLEMENTATION SYSTEMS
Three Companies are planning to provide Airborne Internet by placing
aircrafts in fixed patterns over hundred of cities.
 ANGEL TECHNOLOGIES- Proteus plane.
 AERO VIRONMENT WITH NASA- Helios Aircraft
 SKY STATION IMTERNATIONAL- Blimps
COMPARISON BETWEEN SATELLITE &
AIRBORNE INTERNET
 APPLICATIONS
• The security applications including flight tracking,
deviation, in-flight video monitoring, cockpit
voice/video recording.
• The airborne is an approach to provide a general
purpose multi application.
• ADVANTAGES:
o High levels of redundancy
o Highly autonomous controls which enables one ground operator to
control multiple aircraft.
o Uses solar energy to minimize fuel cost.
• DISADVANTAGES:
o High cost
o Broadband internet covers limited area
 CONCLUSION
Finally Airborne Internet,
Very much useful in field of aviation services like aircraft
monitoring and air traffic management, weather information etc.

Provides passengers to access internet at very high

altitudes(Transit)
