Aricent has announced its alliance with Aircell on the development of key software and processing components for the company's inflight broadband systems. The company's new broadband system will provide inflight Internet access to commercial airline passengers in 2008. Aricent developed software components and functionality for Aircell's on-board central control processor. This system provides data communication between in-flight Wi-Fi users and the cellular air-to-ground communications module used to deliver Aircell's in-flight service, Gogo.
