Rather than installing a $500k conventional mobile phone system, users of ASiQ’s SafeCell will use the existing Bluetooth connection on any computers connected to the aircraft’s satellite link and running the SafeCell server software. The result allows phones running the SafeCell app to make calls as if they were receiving traditional telco coverage.
The best part is there’re no roaming charges!
While the most expensive mobile app in the world is priced at $12,500 (and, optionally, an additional $10,000 for a dedicated SafeCell SC-AP server system), I think you’ll agree that it’s nothing compared to the price of a traditional mobile phone system.
The SafeCell app’s initial release will cover Blackberry, Nokia and Symbian-based mobile phones. A release for Android phones will be available soon after. iPhone users will have the longest wait, as the iPhone’s Bluetooth capabilities are still somewhat restricted.
