EXHIBITC
C-2000 DIGITAL AIRBORNE TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Conference Calls
Conferences can be set up between multiple parties on-board and on the ground,
over any of the available links (GenStar, SATCOM, HF).
Call Transfer
Incoming and outgoing calls can be transferred to other handsets on-board the
aircraft.
In-Plane Calls
Seat-to-seat (cabin-to-cockpit) calling is a standard feature.
Speed Dialing
With the MagnaStar system. callers can store and quickly call frequently called
numbers as well as access services offered by GTE Airfone (hotel, car rental,
weather, etc.).
Multiple Phones
The basic C-2000 system allows installation of up to nine independent (non-party-
line) telephone handsets. A system configuration allowing up to fifty handsets is
currently being developed.
Fax I Data Modem
The MagnaStar system provides RJ.II jacks for connection of caller's fax or
personal computer modem equipment. The RJ.II jacks are integral to the handset;
they may be remoted so that the fax / modem cable does not interfere with use of
the handset. The system is designed to support high quality (low error rate) voice
band data transmissions at 2400 bps; 4800 bps, and 9600 bps. Higher rate
capabilities are in development by Raytheon and GTE Airfone engineering.
TOO
Customer supplied TOO equipment is supported by the MagnaStar system, via the
handset itself or the RJ-II jack.
Call Charging
Service charges for calls made with the MagnaStar system are billed directly to
the equipment owner's account (1 + calls) or to credit card accounts (0 + calls).
Direct charged (1 +) calls can be blocked, for example during charter use of the
aircraft.
Privacy
The MagnaStar system uses an advanced modulation and signaling scheme which
offers inherent communications privacy. Your conversation is protected from
casual listening by others having 'scanners' or by even similarly equipped aircraft.
(This privacy is only limited by the normal private-line telephone service through
the PSTN. Additional security can be provided with optional features.)
