SATCOM
Cabin connectivity
The antenna, the radome and the STC.
Cabin SATCOM is the largest avionics STC family issued since 2020: Ka/Ku, Starlink-class, Gogo Galileo, Intelsat and similar. Where the OEM kit is not on an approved model list for the type, the antenna provisions, the structural data and the IFE interface come from Engineering.
Wi-Fi in the cabin is a separate file, so the dish and the cabin network are approved on their own terms.
