NEW DELHI, INDIA: Communications software company Aricent has tied-up with Aircell to develop key software and processing components for the company's inflight broadband systems.

The company's new broadband system will provide inflight Internet access to commercial airline passengers in 2008.

Using the Aircell broadband system, all travelers will be able to connect to the Internet in a fully integrated wireless cabin over a mobile broadband air-to-ground link.

The Aircell network will initially cover the continental US and will be expanded to the rest of North America, including Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Aricent developed software components and functionality for Aircell's on-board central control processor. This system provides data communication between inflight Wi-Fi users and the cellular air-to-ground communications module used to deliver Aircell's inflight service, Gogo to passengers.

"Aircell chose Aricent for its extensive expertise in building complex communications infrastructures, and its ability to help quickly bring our service to market in the US," said Anand Chari, vice president of engineering, Aircell.
