Dual equipage without Next Gen L-Band Ka/Ku Antenna Optional High Gain Antenna Ka/Ku Satcom Current A781 L-Band Satcom 12
Dual equipage Next Gen L-Band only High Gain Antenna Optional Blade Antenna Next Gen L-Band Satcom Next Gen L-Band Satcom 13
Summary L-Band will not be replaced by Ku/Ka technologies L-Band Satcom is reinforcing its position in the cockpit step by step Expected significant reduction in all Life cycle costs with Next Generation of L-Band Satcom Systems L-Band will remain an acceptable cabin connectivity solution for the smaller platforms and the short trips when ATG is not available 14
