Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The method of communication between an airplane and the ground, the aircraft communicates by radiowaves with the ground via at least one satellite and in a frequency band extending from 5030 MHz to 5091 MHz, bounds included, using a WiMax type transmission standard. The invention also provides an on-board communications terminal for an aircraft, suitable for communicating by radiowaves with the outside of the terminal in a frequency band extending from 5030 MHz to 5091 MHz, bounds included, in application of a WiMax type transmission standard.
