Flying Colours rolls out Satcom Direct Router installations

Flying Colours Corp. has completed its first installations of the Satcom Direct Router, (SDR). The first was fitted as part of a Global 5000 cabin refurbishment package, and the second as part of a new Global 5000 completion project for an undisclosed private Middle Eastern owner. Whilst crew and passengers on this aircraft are already benefiting from the SD services, including the Global VT option, the aircraft is now expected to return to the Flying Colours Peterborough facility in early 2017 to have the supplemental SD WiFi Hub installed. This will add functionality to, and augment the performance of, the existing SDR. This is the first time Flying Colours will have fitted the complete suite of SD router options onto an aircraft. Flying Colours Corp. has been a reseller for Satcom Direct products for over three years, and these initial installations serve to strengthen the existing relationship with the Florida-based company. It is anticipated that further SDR installations will come online as the number of large cabin, long-range aircraft move through the Flying Colours facility increases
