Rockwell Collins is buying Arinc's SKYLink broadband and plans to reintroduce it under its own eXchange brand. According to the agreement, Rockwell Collins will supply the airborne broadband hardware and after-sales support and Arinc will provide the Ku-band satellite service. Arinc will continue to handle SKYLink system sales and
support until the transition to Rockwell Collins eXchange hardware is completed.

“When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits]. ”
