Link: SafeCell In-Flight Cell Phone System Flight Tested

Ron Chapman, ASI’s CEO, stated, “The SafeCell flight test was a world first using a completely portable test kit that required no approval or hardware interfaced to the aircraft systems. The test was conducted on a corporate aircraft over two, one-hour flights. Cell phones were housed in the SafeCell-shielded leather pouches to prevent them from interfering with the aircraft or ground networks. We used suction caps to attach an aviation-certified 3-inch antenna to the aircraft window and connected it via the Iridium global satellite constellation. The SafeCell software connects the cell phone via Bluetooth and WiFi as they are documented or certified as safe for use in aircraft. All SMSs transmitted were delivered.
