塔塔集团的Nelco将于明年1月推出空中通讯服务
塔塔集团公司Nelco的一位高管周四表示，该公司将在明年1月前推出机上数据通信服务，目前正在与航空公司进行积极讨论。
“我们将在大约一个月的时间或明年1月启动国际金融公司。我们将正式宣布，”Nelco首席执行官PJ Nath说，并补充说，该公司最初只提供数据服务。
然而，纳特拒绝透露细节，但他补充说，这家总部位于孟买的公司一直在与多家航空公司进行谈判。
Nelco的高管进一步表示，目前大多数飞机都配备了通信设备，并补充说，该公司对与印度的国际航空公司合作持开放态度。
2018年，多达7500架飞机采用IFC进行客运宽带服务，预计到2028年，采用IFC的飞机数量将增长三倍以上行业统计数据。
2018年5月，由时任电信部长Aruna Sundararajan领导的一个高级别跨部门委员会批准了这一举措，允许飞机乘客在飞机高度达到3000米时通过智能手机上网和打电话。
随后，在2018年12月，政府推出了空中和海上通信(IFMC)许可证制度，允许公司提供10年的空中连接服务。
根据一项自定义收费计划，这一过程将允许航空乘客连接到“空中网络”或机上Wi-Fi服务，并获得一次性密码(OTP)来激活“安全”数据服务。
然而，航空和电信专家表示，对本地航空公司来说，没有太多有吸引力的商业案例，因为它需要依赖中介机构，而且由于国内航线的旅行时间通常很短，与所需的投资相比，收入将不够。
Uppal补充说:“国际金融公司是面向小众用户的重要功能，不太可能成为摇钱树。”
该规定允许航空公司通过Wi-Fi提供数据服务，但要提供移动数据，航空公司必须与接入服务提供商或a类ISP签订商业协议，或者与服务区域内的卫星网关地面站签订商业超小型孔径终端(VSAT)或国家长途(NLD)服务。
今年9月，塔塔集团公司在今年3月获得IFMC许可证后，开始进军海上通信服务。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: Tata group<\/a> company Nelco<\/a> would launch in-flight data communication services<\/a> by January next year, and is currently engaged in active discussions with flight carriers, a top executive Thursday said.\u201cWe will launch IFC in about a month\u2019s time or in January next year. We will make a formal announcement,\u201d Nelco chief executive PJ Nath told, and added that the company would be initially offering data services only.
Nath, however, refused to divulge into details but added that the Mumbai-based company has been in talks with multiple airline carriers.
<\/div><\/div>\u201cIn-flight communications<\/a> would be quite expensive for routine calling and will be mainly useful for accessing internet services during flights,\u201d Mahesh Uppal, director at communications consulting firm Com First India said.
Nelco's executive further said that most of the aircrafts come factory-fitted with communication equipment today, and added that the company is open to working with India-bound international carriers.
In 2018, as many as 7,500 aircrafts adopted IFC for passenger broadband services and adoption is expected to grow to more than three-fold by 2028 according to industry<\/a> statistics.
In May 2018, a high-level inter-ministerial committee, headed by then telecom secretary Aruna Sundararajan, approved the move to allow air travelers to access the Internet over smartphones and make calls once the aircraft achieves a height of 3,000 metres.
Subsequently, in December 2018, the government launched the In-flight and Maritime Communication (IFMC) licence regime allowing companies to offer in-flight connectivity services for 10 years.
Based on a custom tariff plan, the process would allow air passengers to connect onto an \u2018on-air network\u2019 or inflight Wi-Fi service and receive a one-time password (OTP) to activate \u2018secured\u2019 data services.

<\/div><\/div>State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), Indo Teleports Limited (ITL), a Bharti Airtel subsidiary, and Hughes Communications too hold a license for in-flight connectivity.
The aviation and telecom experts, however, say that there was not much attractive business case for local carriers as it required dependence on intermediaries and the revenue would not be enough compared with the investments required as the travel time on domestic routes are usually short.
\"IFC is an important functionality with niche users and is unlikely to be a big money-spinner,\" Uppal added.
The rules allow airlines to offer data services via Wi-Fi, but to provide mobile data it must enter into a commercial agreement with either an access service provider or an ISP Category A, or a commercial Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) or national long distance (NLD) service with a satellite gateway earth station within the service area.
In September this year, the Tata group company has forayed into maritime communication services, after receiving an IFMC license in March this year.
