Innovation is always key –
Aero-SB Lite shares technology with Aero SB+
With a pioneering outlook and a fixed focus on new technology development, Thrane & Thrane has put more than 225 man years into creating the core technology for the very best mobile broadband systems in the market. This has resulted in numerous cutting edge solutions, e.g. Aero-SB+ – and now Aero-SB Lite.
The Aero-SB Lite is based on the same SwiftBroadband technology and basic design as AERO SB+, which means that you get most of the features from the more expensive Aero-SB+ in the Aero-SB Lite.
Aero-SB Lite from Thrane & Thrane is:
- Easy to use
- Superior in design and technology (shares SBU with Aero-SB+)
- Cost-effective (costs significantly less than Aero-SB+)
- Compact and lightweight (with a very small Intermediate Gain Antenna)
Flexible modes of operation
Aero-SB Lite can operate in different data modes depending on the users’ requirements. You can choose Quality of Service (QoS), which ensures you guaranteed bandwidth in steps and you pay per minute, or the always-on background connection where you only pay for the amount of data you transfer.
Superior voice
With Aero-SB Lite onboard, the quality of voice communication is better than ever. Furthermore, the price of voice is reduced by 75 %, and you can use your own compatible handset, when talking.
Upgrade from Aero-M and Aero-I
Aero-SB Lite is a grand step up from Aero-M and Aero-I. For more information on how to get Aero-SB Lite onboard, please contact aero@thrane.com
