Hybrid IFC Antenna System
Flying with ThinKom Under the Radome
Commercial airlines around the world continue to select the benchmark in IFC antennas for the ultimate passenger experience
Key Attributes
Brushless DC Motors
The high-torque brushless DC motors increase reliability with no contacting parts and allow for rapid satellite switching
Passive RF Layers
Three layers which make up the antenna are entirely passive, increasing efficiency and reducing prime power
Protected Electronics
Hosting key electronics in the cabin greatly improves the reliability
Low Profile
Because of the inherent low profile and a streamlined shape, ThinAir antennas are the lowest drag phased arrays on the market
