CaviConnect
Data exchange between ground and aircraftThe challenge
You need a solution for secure, reliable and efficient data exchange between ground resources and your active aircraft. The data links between aircraft and ground personnel is able to exchange mission-specific and private data with a robust level of IT security.
In light of today’s operating conditions and threats, the data exchanged between airborne assets and ground personnel should include video and audio content as well as other information streams to provide full situational awareness in both directions
Our solution
Airborne missions and other aircraft operations need a way to exchange two-way data securely with personnel and resources on the ground.
With up to four simultaneous data connections, CaviConnect by HENSOLDT enables operators to exchange data between the ground and active aircraft using the LTE (4G) network.
CaviConnect can operate independently as a standalone, airborne wireless access point (WAP) or be used as an LTE gateway.
