Default More Info On In-Flight Mobile Phone Tests

http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/09/16/HNairbustests_1.html?source=rss&url=http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/09/16/HNairbustests_1.html

"plane maker Airbus SAS has successfully completed the first in-flight trial of mobile phones and infrastructure equipment based on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technology, the company said Wednesday. The trial, which took place aboard an Airbus A320 flight-test plane, culminated a two-year research European Commission-supported project aimed at testing wireless technology for in-flight mobile phone and computing services. Airbus, which was tight-lipped about the trial previous to its launch, expects to have the technology installed in its aircraft from 2006 onward. A key objective is to provide service at affordable prices, the company said."

A couple months back we told you about Qualcomm running tests for in-flight CMDA cell usage. So it's good to see solutions are in the works for other carrier networks.
