Diamond Aircraft’s DA62 MPP Now Available with SKYTRAC SDL-350 Satcom for Broadband Iridium Certus Connectivity North Sea Aviation Services selects SDL-350 Satcom solution onboard fleet of DA62 MPP for European border patrol ISR operations KELOWNA, BC, June 22, 2021 — SKYTRAC, a leader in satellite communications (Satcom) and intelligent connectivity solutions, today announced that Diamond Aircraft, a leading Austria-based general aviation aircraft manufacturer, will feature SKYTRAC’s SDL-350 Satellite Communications (Satcom) solution as a customer option for broadband Iridium Certus connectivity and onboard server capabilities. The SDL-350, which utilizes the Iridium Certus Low Earth Orbit (LEO) broadband connectivity service to provide up to 704 Kbps of bandwidth to the aircraft, will integrate with EO/IR cameras onboard DA62 MPP aircraft to enable live video transmission during intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance (ISR) missions. The SDL-350 will replace legacy Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite solutions for operational efficiencies allowing for truly global connectivity, improved reliability, reduced latency, and reduced power consumption at a lower overall cost to operators. “We are excited to partner with Diamond Aircraft to integrate our SDL-350 Satcom system onto the industry leading DA62 Multi Purpose Platform aircraft,” mentions Jan van der Heul. “Operators and OEMs are
