rdfs:label | - Mobile Communications On-board Aircraft
|
rdfs:comment | - Mobile Communications On-board Aircraft (MCA) technology is identical to normal mobile roaming in that airline passengers are billed through their service provider. The tariffs applied usually correspond to "Roaming: rest of the world" prices. Wi-Fi is also used for MCA but is not subject to specific rules because its low power does not pose interference risk with ground-based radio services.

abstract | - Mobile Communications On-board Aircraft (MCA) technology is identical to normal mobile roaming in that airline passengers are billed through their service provider. The tariffs applied usually correspond to "Roaming: rest of the world" prices. Wi-Fi is also used for MCA but is not subject to specific rules because its low power does not pose interference risk with ground-based radio services. MCA does not cover the communication between the aircraft and the ground which is currently provided by satellite-based systems. New satellites should allow ten times greater capacity than what is available today.
