Abstract
A broadband security data communications system for in-flight aircraft has been developed. The system includes multiple overlapping ground stations that communicate with an in-flight aircraft via the to IEEE 802.16 Air Interface Standard. Security Data including video surveillance of the aircraft is then transmitted to the ground.
