Faxing Solution for Iridium Satellite Network
|
| |
Just
the fax, ma'am. Sometimes you just have to see the facts
in writing. In that case, nothing but a fax will do. This
is especially true for government and business aircraft users,
who depend on faxes. While you've always been able to fax
over Aircell's USA cellular network, facsimile service hasn't
been possible over Iridium's global satellite network - until
now.
Enter the new On-Go uniHub. About the size of a portable
CD player, plug in this compact adaptor and start taking
advantage of low-cost faxing. The uniHub is compatible
with standard fax machines worldwide. Steve Niessner,
Senior Applications Engineer at Aircell, recently tested
the uniHub with Aircell products and the Iridium network. "The
uniHub, in conjunction with On- Go's service, provides
yet another capability for Aircell customers' Iridium-based
phones," said Niessner, "namely, the ability to send
a fax from anywhere on earth, in the air, or on the ground."

Aircell Adds Another Technical Support Expert
|
| |
 With
the Technical Support group's recent addition of Ken Klein,
dealers and users can count on even more expert answers.
A licensed pilot, Ken has "wide knowledge about general aviation
and business aviation." He can expertly answer dealers' questions
about component location, plus answer users' questions about
integrating Aircell systems with PDAs or laptops.
Formerly with Stevens Aviation, Ken has 18 years of aviation
experience, including 9 years of supervising avionics installations,
and 5 years of customer support. Holding an A&P (airframe & powerplant)
license, Ken has "probably touched every part of the aircraft,
at one time or another." When not busy helping you, Ken and
his family of 5 enjoy outdoor recreation in Colorado. They
ski and snowboard in winter, and off-road in warmer months.
So let Ken help with your technical support needs, but let
him off the phone once in awhile.

Technical Tip about Toll-Free Calling
|
| |
 Can
Iridium callers reach toll-free numbers? It all depends. "When
a company sets up its 800 services, it can choose which calls
it will accept, such as free calls from international customers," said
Bill Nielson, Aircell Technical Support Manager. "This is
not something controlled by Aircell or Iridium."
"An aircraft with an Iridium phone is like its own 'flying
country' - with all calls from the air treated as international
calls," he added, "so a call to an 800 number may not connect,
depending on who you're calling." One example is Aircell's
888 number, which international callers cannot reach. However,
Iridium callers can reach Aircell toll-free by dialing AIR1
(2471). Visit our Web site for more Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs) and Technical Tips.
