New Satellites for ATC
25 years an ATC mate, about 28 a CPL. More of an 'expert' than you'll ever be.
But you just keep on thinking that you're an ATM expert, just like every other ATC.

Not at all mate, if you want to make juvenile comments about someone's experience I'll put it out there, I could put quite a bit more out there but hey, it just attracts the usual defensive comments. Happy to PM you or your mate.
Wow. So many posts, so little information...
Does anyone actually know what on-board and ground based equipment is actually needed to use the system?

The secrecy is amazing.
I would imagine it is a satellite repeater similar to the OSCAR HAMSAT but on the VHF aircraft band.
Now economic because of the substantial reduction in satellite launch costs due to Mr Musk.
Designed to work with standard aircraft transceivers I would think.

Give it a rest, Tossbag, you're not funny.
Oh ****, sorry, I forgot we're discussing world peace, covid economics and gene therapy on these pages.

Jetpig,
I am a few years out of ATC by now, but from what I can glean Aireon does not include a communication option; it seems to be ADS-B only.
The missing link may be real-time voice comms (any trans-Pacific pilots care to comment?). If this is the problem then Aireon seems not to be the answer, perhaps this is the niche that Skykraft has identified? As I recall this is still also an issue for some parts of Australia where HF still has to be used; and I imagine there are also vast tracts of the rest of the world where HF is still in use.
Best of luck to Mark Skidmore and his company.
