SECTION 6

SYSTEM COMMISSIONING

6.1 Provisioning of User Services

Within the JetWave

system, the Modman LRU is responsible for bringing Inmarsat satellite

network IP access to onboard users through In-flight Entertainment Systems or through Onboard

Network Systems. The Modman LRU coordinates with the Inmarsat Satellite Access Station (SAS)

for modulation, demodulation, power control, terminal authentication, configuration, IP

communication, QoS aspects and initiating tracking and beam switching for the JetWave

system.

The commencement of RF transmission and reception of the JetWave

system during normal

operation is as follows:

• Satellite Search: The JetWave

system is looking for the satellite in the closest

longitude proximity. In this state, the JetWave

system does not transmit.

• The Global Signaling Channel is used by the Inmarsat GX network to inform the

JetWa

system terminal of the current satellite configurations and location. Inmarsat

satellite generates a global beam which illuminates the entire service region in the

satellite’s footprint. Global Signaling Channel makes the frequencies and locations of

each spot beam known to the JetWave

system and allows automatic network

configuration and rapid network log-in.

• Data Communication: The JetWave

system is logged into the network, and is sending

and receiving data. In the data communication state, the JetWave

system may be

switched from one data carrier to another. This can occur for either load balancing

reasons, or because of the JetWave

system moved into a different spot beam. During

this transition, the JetWave

system continues transmitting normally. At some point,

depending on the aircraft movements, directed satellite handover is used when the

JetWave

system needs to switch between the satellites. The antenna re-pointing is

required. The frequency band of the transmissions shifts and the KANDU will track on the

new carrier. During this satellite transition, there will be a momentary disruption to the IP

data connectivity.

Inmarsat GX Aviation services operate as a managed subscription service model and the services

are provisioned through various Value Added Resellers/Distribution partners. To provision the user

services, the Airline Operator need to associate the JetWave

system with any of the Value Added

Resellers or Distribution Partners and subscribe to the desired Service Subscription Package

services. The following is the current list of Value Added Resellers for AT&R market and Distribution

Partners for BGA market:
