I-3/I-4 Classic Aero Dual ConstellationClassic I-3 and I-4 networks, having identical infrastructure, can now be supported ‘as one’ bynetwork operations team

− In support of PBCS monitoring, Inmarsat can now utilise common analytic tools across I3 and I4networks

− Inmarsat can now administer satcom short codes in the same way across the I-3/I-4 GESs. Currentlyapproximately 180 codes defined – seeing increased interest from airlines (contact Andrew Ives orGary Colledge)

− Software tool in development to support management and distribution

Available for all aircraft with:

− Classic Aero-H+

− Classic Aero-H+ with SwiftBroadband

More aircraft activated for dual I-4 and I-3 operation (>50%) improved network resilience

Working with RC IMS(ARINC) and SITA to add I-4 to more aircraft ORT tables in acoordinated way

− Inmarsat is now supporting its partners to analyse the current satellite voice performance in theClassic Aero system [‘Satvoice Tiger Team’ within the FAA PARC]

• Alphasat, also known as Inmarsat-4A F4, waslaunched on the 25th July 2013, and it hadprovided Inmarsat services, other than aviationservices, since 19th Nov 2013.

Alphasat SatelliteBackground

• On the 24th March 2015 Inmarsat transitioned the EMEA (I4F2) Classic Aeroand SBB services to Alphasat. (Alphasat effectively replaced I4F2 at the sameorbital slot).

• The 4F2 satellite has remained co-located at 25°E since the transition ofservices to Alphasat to mitigate any transition issues.

• As announced in 2014, it is planned that the I4F2 will be moved to 63.9°E toform a new ocean region “MEAS” (Middle-East & Asia Satellite)


Alphasat Satellite payload

Alphasat will provide improvements in power, capacityand available spectrum in the I4-EMEA region

The improvements include:

L-band aggregate EIRP (power): 60% increase

DSP resources (channels): 20% increase (plus improved efficiency)

L-band spectrum: 52% increase

C-band spectrum: 100% increase

These characteristics will lead to improved performance and capacity in thebusiest region, I4-EMEA

As of 30/07/15, two issues have been identified as contributing to the few longlatency messages and one topic (the on-aircraft handling of Media Advisories)that are being investigated;

a) positions where the aircraft is making transitions between satcom and VHF andvice-versa;

b) a few longer latency messages;

c) on-aircraft handing of Media Advisory

Message ‘outlier’ analysisSwiftBroadband subnetwork outlier latencies


Since the first flights in June 2014 only one unplanned outage of the safetycomponents of the system has been noted:

˃ 6th/7th August, 4 hours

Analysis by SED, the AGGW supplier, has determined the causes. Short term mitigationmeasures put in place, and is now working on the necessary long-term mitigation.

Overview, benefits, architecture & timeline

Iris Precursor Programme

Inmarsat satcom update ICAO YUL Sept 28th_Oct 2nd 2015

What is Iris?

A partnership between ESA and Inmarsat todevelop “Iris Precursor”, involving 16 companiesfrom 8 ESA member states

The service is being developed to satisfyperformance requirements set for VHF Datalinkand standardised for “initial 4D trajectorymanagement”

Integrated with the European Air TrafficManagement network

A new entity would be established as serviceprovider and undergo EASA certification


Potential benefitsImproved availability and bandwidth over what is available thru VDL2 only

− Provides relief to VHF spectrum pressure

− Increased bandwidth available for AOC apps

− Increased service coverage

More efficient airspace operations leading to:

− Environmental benefits and fuel savings through user preferred routings including continuousclimb and descent profiles

− Improved traffic predictability (particularly at oceanic boundaries) leading to reducedcontroller workload and potentially lower ANS charges

Applicable to a range of aircraft types for FANS1/A & ATN operations:

− Short and Long Haul Commercial as well as Business jets

Global Datalink Convergence (ICAO and SESAR goal)
