FlightLINK CyberGateway

FlytLINK Cyber Gateway by Thales provides a secure solution for connecting aircraft to the external world while mitigating cyber threats.

Designed in compliance with the latest aviation cybersecurity regulations (ED203A), the system integrates encrypted communication, avionics security filtering, and wireless data offload capabilities.

FlytLINK Cyber Gateway ensures safe, seamless connectivity for cockpit operations, maintenance, and flight data transmission.

Applications:

• Military
• UAS
• Turbo Props
• Business jets
• Helicopters

The FlytLINK Satcom configurations support both Safety Services (4 LRU) and Non-Safety Services (3 LRU) for more tailored Customer voice and data based applications.

The Safety configurations provides a Design Assurance Level D Certified System that leverages Thales expertise in Cyber Security to provide secure three-way domain segregation across ACD, AISD and PIESD all in a single System.

The Non-Safety configurations provide two-way secure domain segregation for AISD and PIESD Services supported by different speed classes. Safety services Critical flight data offloading Two embedded Iridium 9523 Modules for Safety Services ACARS SBD (FANS/1A, CPDLC, ADS-C) Cockpit 4-wire voice.

Aircraft and mission operations Integration for enhanced in-air reporting, service logging, flight crew scheduling, aircraft monitoring Supports electronic flight bag pairing (EFB) Enables real-time weather and active aircraft tracking UAS BVLOS C2 over Certus.

Key LEO Technology Differentiators:

• SCM
• Global, Uniform Coverage Even at The Poles
• Robust Link Error Correction
• Channel Selection and Doppler shift adjusted each 8.3msec time slot
• Side Looking SV Acquisition minimizes near field obstructions
• Lightweight
• Robust Link Configurations:- 352/352 kbps- 700/352 kbps- 1.4Mb/352 kbps
• No Special Streaming Services Necessary = Lower OPEX for Operators
• Small Physical Size

Passenger connectivity Office in the Sky providing VoIP and other connectivity needs Supports text, e-mail, web browsing and streaming services

For the safety services, Thales FlytLink offers a shipset with a Satellite Data Unit (SDU), a SCM and both a high gain antenna (HGA) and a low gain antenna (LGA). The solution for non-safety services comprises a SDU, a SCM and a high gain antenna.
