Satcom Direct (Booth D051, Static Display) this week launched GlobalVT, a service enabling use of personal smartphones for phone calls, texting and use of data services aboard business jets from takeoff to landing anywhere in the world. Global VT works through the Satcom Direct SDR router via Inmarsat SwiftBroadband or ViaSat Yonder service, and is compatible with both IOS and Android phones.

The company’s SDR routers are currently installed on more than 100 business jets, and the company has STCs for installation on aircraft of all OEMs. For the phone service, Satcom charges a one-time GlobalVT license and a monthly fee, and users also pay roaming charges incurred for the phone calls and texting.
