ave™ MCS-8562 Terminal Overview
The JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal SATCOM system supplies a broadband communication link that can
be used to supply data, video, and voice communications for passengers communications and entertainment.
The AES communicates to the SAS through a satellite as shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1. Ka-Band System
A Modman is provided within the AES to enable two-way communications. The forward channel provides
a communication path from the SAS to the AES. The return channel provides a communication path from
the AES to the SAS. The AES receives in the forward channel in K-band and transmits in the Ka-band.
The AES system provides the RF data link between the aircraft and the servicing satellite. An AES system
includes an antenna which is steered towards the servicing satellite by mechanical means. The JetWave™
MCS-8562 Terminal operating frequency range is 29 to 31 GHz (TX, Ka-band) and 19.2 to 21.2 GHz (RX,
K-band). The JetWave™ MCS-8562 Terminal system also supports an external modem to operate in
frequency range of 29 to 31 GHz (TX, Ka-band) and 19.2 to 21.2 GHz (RX, K-band).
