LIMITATIONS TO THE WIRELESS CABIN ARCITECTURE
• To minimize cost and obtain better QoS, efficient internetworking between satellite
segment and service integrator is required.
• Limited bandwidth.
• Asymmetric data rates on satellite up- and down-link.
• Unavailability of geo-stationary satellite

12. CONCLUSION & FUTURE AIMS
• Airlines aims at providing various other entertainment and communication equipments in the nearest future.
Since people are becoming more attached to the communication resources such as Network Interface Cards and
dial-up connections, airlines have to accommodate such facilities for the betterment of travel experience.
• It focusses on the wireless services such as UMTS and WLAN to connect the passengers via satellite or terrestrial
services.
• In aeronautical scenario, global coverage is quite needed for providing a continuous service. Therefore, satellite
communication became indispensable and together with ever increasing data rate, requirement of applications,
aeronautical communication meets an expensive market.
