Marketwired
MELBOURNE, FL and PALO ALTO, CA , an international
communications and information technology company, and Voyant
International Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT), a diversified digital
media and technology holding company, have teamed to provide
commercial airline passengers with in-flight Internet
connectivity.
Voyant intends to launch its aviation broadband service (ABS) in
approximately one year, focusing initially on providing broadband
connectivity to passengers in North America, and ultimately
expanding service to Europe and then the rest of the world. Harris
brings a combination of market-leading technology, infrastructure,
service and support that can enhance network capabilities and
accelerate deployment. Harris and Voyant have signed a letter of
intent that will include a combination of technology licenses,
service agreements and engineering cooperation. As a first step,
Harris will provide Voyant ABS with access to advanced
software-defined radio (SDR) technology.
"This initiative represents yet another element of Harris
Corporation's strategy to bring its advanced technology to
commercial aviation through alliances with innovative and dynamic
companies," said Bob Coulson, Department of Transportation senior
executive account manager for Harris Government Communications
Systems. "We are excited about Voyant's planned offering to this
market and the clear synergies with Harris' expertise."
"This relationship with Harris represents a major milestone in
the development of our aviation broadband solution, and we're very
pleased to have them on board," said Dana Waldman, chief executive
officer of Voyant International. "Harris' state-of-the art
technology and support will allow us to offer our airline customers
the high broadband capacity and excellent service they
require."
