As the countdown to the annual Spring Festival begins, people across the country have begun to go home in full force, and airports have welcomed a large number of Spring Festival travel passengers. Different from previous years, some Chinese airlines have added wireless Internet access to their planes while ensuring the safety and stability of the Spring Festival travel rush, making the long journey home less lonely.
China Telecom, as an aviation Internet service provider signed by China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines, provides a full range of communication services and guarantees for flights during the Spring Festival travel rush. As early as July 2014, China Telecom and ZTE Software jointly created the earliest and most mature aviation and civil communication service platform in China -- Ku-band civil aviation satellite airborne communication system business operation platform. It was the first time to use the satellite communication system to install special airborne satellite antennas and satellite terminals on planes, and establish communication links with satellite master stations through satellites. Passengers will be able to access the Internet during flights with their mobile phones on airplane mode and cellular communications disabled.
With the advent of digital life, people's demand for mobile services and network quality is also unprecedented high, and the services provided by operators for users are undergoing great changes. As an important partner of China Telecom, the Ku Band airborne communication system business operation platform jointly built by ZTE Softronics not only improves the service satisfaction and comfort of passengers on board, but also creates new business value with high-quality in-flight Internet services. The system is mainly composed of airborne business (WISP) platform, information security system, network management system, business monitoring and statistics system, sales management and self-service system, real name authentication system and payment platform. WISP platform is the core supporting system of the whole airborne communication business, as well as the hub of airborne communication business process. It has the ability to manage airborne communication business products, authenticate users online, charge and settle users, manage users and provide services. The payment platform adopts China Telecom Wing Payment platform, and the payment system provided by airlines can be adopted for in-flight sales. Real-name authentication systems are provided by airlines.
According to the forecast of market users, the total installed capacity of aviation airborne communication service of China Telecom will reach 630 aircraft by 2020, and the bandwidth of each user will reach 100KBps according to the calculation that each aircraft carries 260 passengers on average and the Internet proportion is 18%. It is believed that the service mode of "Internet + civil aviation" will become a new blue ocean. Zte Softcreate has always followed the principles of standardization, openness, security and maturity, providing strong support and guarantee for China Telecom and escorting aviation airborne communication services.
