Digital air/ground communications between aircraft and ground equipment are referred to as datalink. The Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) is the foundation of the European data link system, and VHF Digital Link Mode 2 (VDL Mode 2/VDL2) is used as the air/ground data link technology.
A data link is a method of establishing a connection between two points for the transmission and reception of digital information (data communication). It can also refer to a group of electronic components that include a transmitter, a receiver (two pieces of data terminal equipment), and a circuit that connects them. These are controlled by a link protocol that enables the transport of digital data between a data source and a data sink.
Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract (ADS-C) capabilities using all communication sources on the aircraft.
They facilitate compliance with airspace mandates and laws, improve oceanic and remote flight operations, and offer logical, adaptable Airline Operations Control (AOC) solutions.
The Global Aircraft Data Link System market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Airspace Link HBCplus, a new flexible satellite connectivity system from Airbus, has been introduced. It can be retrofitted onto any Airbus programme and is available as an SFE line-fit catalogue option.
Airlines will be able to connect to a variety of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) using a new certified terminal and radome developed as part of the aircraft thanks to HBCplus, which at first includes band services.
HBCplus will eventually be expanded to include MSPs that provide Ku-band services. Airbus has chosen connectivity satcom pioneer Inmarsat as the first MSP in order to achieve this goal.
Inmarsat will provide its GX Aviation inflight broadband solution, which provides a dependable and seamless passenger experience with global coverage and room for future expansion. In due future, more MSPs will join the HBCplus service.
Increased aircraft,expanding passenger and freight traffic, and technology developments in flight systems have all contributed to higher levels of aircraft security and safety.
The demand for aeroplane communication systems has expanded as a result of the advancement of communication technology. Aircraft communication systems are undergoing a number of technological developments.
One of these is the multilink strategy, which will serve as the basis for future data link architecture and communication. The aviation communications addressing and reporting system (ACARS) and VDL2 are two examples of outdated technology that will be integrated into the Future Communications Infrastructure (FCI). The FCI includes satellite-based systems, LDACS (L-band Digital Aeronautical Communications System), and AeroMACS.
Future communication radio systems have been developed by the academic and industry communities to address future data link needs and services. The two most significant initiatives in this area of research at the moment are SESAR and NextGen.
Unlike conventional communication systems, it transmits voice and data communications over the same network. Thus, the cost of maintaining many onboard communication networks has decreased as a result of the utilisation of a single network.
