Making Phone Calls in Flights

With the development of science and technology, using communicative devices in flights is now being realized. In some developed country, a few airline companies have already provided phone call service and Internet service in flights for their passengers. They use marine satellite telephone in flights to contact with the ground.
It is learned that marine satellite telephone is realized through international public telephone network and marine satellite network. Marine satellite network comprises of marine satellites, marine satellite earth stations, ship stations and terminal units. Its covering range includes Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, East and West Atlantic Ocean.
Marine satellite telephone, however, has high cost and it has limited capacity, thus marine satellite telephones are only installed in some special plane models. As a result, the airfares including air telephone fee are much expensive than normal ones. Furthermore, the satellite telephone fees are much higher than normal ones. Therefore, if we want to make phone calls in flights, we have to wait now.
Currently, more and more airline companies are providing onboard Internet-access service for their passengers. The current technologies can basically solve the problem of onboard Internet access. However, making phone call in flight is still an unsolved problem.
Currently, Chinese major domestic airline companies together with China Mobile Company are actively co-developing relevant onboard communicative technologies, which have been submitted to relevant government department. It is predicted that though the phone fees are higher than normal ones, they are much lower than marine satellite phone fees. It means that in near future, normal passengers can also enjoy the high-grade onboard telephone services.
As for making phone calls in flights, many businesspersons said, "This is a piece of good news for us. It will greatly increase our time efficiency. This way, we don't need to worry about missing business information due to taking planes." But others still worry about whether this technology is absolutely secure and reliable and whether the communicative signal is stable. But once this technology is approved by government, everyone can use it without question.
