Qualcomm, Connexion to test in-flight mobile calls
Wireless technology company Qualcomm Inc. and Boeing Co.'s Connexion said on Monday they would test in-flight mobile phone calls in the hopes they can overcome public skepticism.
Connexion, which already provides wireless laptop Internet services in airplane cabins, hopes to provide in-flight wireless voice and data services if regulators give the go-ahead.
The tests will be conducted through September in a specially equipped Boeing 737-400 aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration told lawmakers last month that substantial challenges remained to the in-flight use of mobile phones even if communications regulators eased a ban currently in place.
