What is communication
in aircraft???
Communication System involves
voice transmission and reception
between aircrafts or aircrafts
and ground.

Communications
Addressing and
Reporting System
(ACARS)
Aircraft with ACARS can exchange data messages via a
network of automated ground stations incorporating
internal computers. Airlines first used the data link
system to send movement reports to the ACARS service
processors using the telex formats that operators had
previously used to send those reports. ACARS are widely
used today with airborne installations exceeding 10,000
aircraft.
ACARS units are connected to a VHF radio and in many
cases, interfaced with satellite systems. This type of data
communications is sent via conventional VHF radio
waves that are received through a network of ground
stations linked via a terrestrial network to a centralized
data link service processor. This is what provides the
connection to the ground systems of the users.
Data communications can also be sent via satellite
networks but will ultimately link to the service processor
that supports the VHF ACARS service. The function of
the service processor is to route messages automatically
between the user aircraft and ground systems, using
mostly a fixed configuration of delivery addresses by
message type for downlink messages and by memorizing
the ground station to be used for uplink messages.

Aircraft have been able to carry out voice and data
communications via the Inmarsat satellites for more
than 25 years. Until then, this satellite constellation
was intended to provide communication services to
ships. The number of aircraft currently equipped to
use Inmarsat has exceeded 3,500 and is made up of
airliners, business jets, and government aircraft.
Four satellites placed in geo-stationary orbit above
the equator are centralized over the Pacific Ocean,
Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean-East, and Atlantic
Ocean-West. This constellation provides coverage
through a “global beam” between 80 degrees above
and below the equator.
The original Inmarsat Aeronautical service provides
two modes, circuit mode supporting voice
communications and packet mode supporting
“always-on” data communications.
Aircraft operators use the Inmarsat circuit mode to
offer voice service to passengers and flight deck crew.
Aircraft operators use the Inmarsat packet mode,
which provides a data rate approaching that of some
home high-speed lines.
