SD Private Network
SD Custom Routing
Private jet. Private network.
Private connectivity.
The SD Private Network is a global
communications framework that
interconnects with satellite and air-toground connectivity providers via the
SD Data Center and its multiple pointsof-presence (POPs), worldwide. This
allows the application of Satcom Direct®
proprietary value-added services to
improve data speeds, create seamless
transitions between ground-based and
airborne communications networks, filter
unwanted data transmissions to and
from the aircraft, and to enable the use
of computers and personal devices
in flight, just like on the ground. You get
a better user experience than any other
service provider can offer, even over the
same satellite or air-to-ground network.
The SD Custom Routing option enables
you to create a direct connection to your
corporate network for managing all of
your airborne data traffic enabling you
to apply your company IT compliance to

Satcom Direct RouterTM
The connectivity platform for
the future
The SDRTM is an aircraft network router
that simplifies cabin communications.
It allows simultaneous use of multiple

Its intelligent traffic control allows multiple
Wi-Fi networks to operate on the aircraft,
creating the ability for separate guest or
dedicated VVIP connections.
The SDR is more than a connectivity
platform, it makes services such as
SD ProSM and SD FlightLogsSM work even
better. Its powerful data capture
capabilities enable the extraction of
operational data from the aircraft such
as telemetry and position data, fuel
indications, operational parameters,
and more.

perimeter. GeoNotifications are geobased alerts that can be generated based
on a specific proximity, in either time
or distance, and targeted to specific tail
numbers or avionics types, preventing
messages that are not applicable to
a flight.
