The drivers of future airborne communication capacity are mainly aeronautical passenger mobile communication needs, but also Air Traffic Control (ATC), unmanned aircraft systems integration, airline communications including air health management, as well as weather and scientific mission data dissemination. The increasing variety and volume of personal mobile applications are estimated to cause capacity requirements to a per-passenger level of mega-bits per second that may be of the same order of magnitude as capacity related to ATC and avionics per aircraft. Consequently, three key elements of future Airborne Communication Networks (ACN) are derived, which include photonic high-capacity communication links, hybrid photonic / radio-frequency diversity networking and high-altitude platform stations for permanent ACN-to-internet connectivity.
