<strong>Uniquely Enabling Commercial Air Transport Connectivity with 3x-12x More Throughput at 2x-10x the Efficiency, 1/2 the Size and 1/3 the Aerodynamic Drag</strong>

ThinKom's agile, ultra-low-profile, high-efficiency ThinAir® Falcon-Ku3030 antenna <span style="line-height: 1.6; font-size: 13px;">provides high throughput (up to 90 Mbps Downlink and 15 Mbps Uplink) and with </span><span style="line-height: 1.6; font-size: 13px;">maximally efficient use of transponder bandwidth (1.5-3 bits/Hz). </span><span style="line-height: 1.6; font-size: 13px;">Our very low profile antenna design enables a similarly low profile, conformal radome which reduces fuel costs related to drag by up to 80% and provides flexibility for installation on Regional, Single-aisle and Twin-aisle aircraft. The superior high skew angle and low latitude performance also improves fleet flexibility in equatorial regions. The ThinAir® Falcon-Ku3030 offers the highest efficiency Ku-band solution to meet Commercial Air Transport’s “big pipe" demand for broadband in-flight connectivity.</span>
