ASiQ Releases Apple Bluetooth Applications for iPhone and iPad In-Flight Connectivity

Melbourne Australia 14th November. 2011 - ASiQ Limited is pleased to announce that their in-flight connectivity Apps, “BizjetMobile” and “iJetCell” are now available from the Apple iTunes App store.Melbourne, Australia November 14, 2011

Ron Chapman, ASiQ’s CEO stated, “The Company is very excited about the Apple release as we believe it is really unique.

What our Apple Bluetooth system does is upgrade an existing aircraft satellite link into a Smartphone/Tablet network and allows passengers and crew to connect outside the cellular roaming network, thereby eliminating roaming charges. You can as well remove the existing aircraft PABX and hardwired telephones as they are longer needed. The ASiQ solution eliminates 90% of the system and equipment cost associated with conventional aircraft cell phone innovation and considering that over 36,000 aircraft operators have already spent $150 - $650K installing a satellite link, at that time $15K for a system upgrade is minimal.

Our technology shows that people in aircraft want to keep in touch such as they do on the ground. Their primary method of keeping in touch when they are on the move is messaging, and on Bizjets, executives want the ability to access their contact lists and initiate calls via their own phone. This is what we deliver, and without the certification issues, high equipment cost and high usage charges associated with Wi-Fi.

While Wi-Fi has its place, it’s actually only useful if you have broadband and when you consider the very high costs of a broadband system in an aircraft, it’s probably the reason over 90% of business jets and airliners only have narrow band and in other words where our Bluetooth Apps can make a real difference.

Bluetooth’s main attribute is its robust protocol and unequalled ability to establish a Personal Area Network and you cannot get any more personal than in an aircraft."

The complete system in Australia

ASiQ has 2 corporate jets being upgraded with the complete system in Australia and will commence its first US aircraft installation straightway month. ASiQ has a Bluetooth solution for all cell phones and tablets.

ASiQ has over 2 decades experience in designing, manufacturing and implementing aircraft passenger and crew communication systems.
