Airborne Satellite Communication (ASC) is a form of satellite communication that enables aircraft to communicate with ground stations and other aircraft. ASC systems are typically composed of an antenna, a modem, and a satellite transceiver. The antenna is used to transmit and receive signals from the satellite, while the modem is used to convert the signals into digital data. The satellite transceiver is used to send and receive data from the satellite. ASC systems are used for a variety of applications, including air traffic control, navigation, surveillance, and communication. They are also used for military applications, such as intelligence gathering and reconnaissance. ASC systems are becoming increasingly important for commercial aviation, as they provide a reliable and secure means of communication between aircraft and ground stations. ASC systems are typically designed to be lightweight and compact, allowing them to be easily installed on aircraft. They are also designed to be highly reliable and secure, ensuring that data is transmitted securely and accurately. Some of the major companies in the Airborne Satellite Communication market include Inmarsat, Iridium, Globalstar, and Thuraya. Show Less Read more
