ARINC822A-1 822A-1 On-Ground Aircraft Wireless Communication

This specification addresses IPv4-based connections between an aircraft on the ground and the airline’s network infrastructure based on IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standards and connections using cellular technologies: 3G, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), 4G, Long Term Evolution (LTE), and 5G. Elements necessary for interoperability in the radio and network layers are addressed while methods for application data transfer are out of scope. Measures to enhance cyber security are included and may go beyond basic interoperability.
This specification does not address the following technologies, nor does it preclude their future addition based on market demand: Wired connections to the aircraft at the gate (e.g., powerline communications); AeroMACS, an aviation implementation of IEEE 802.16e (WiMAX) that uses protected spectrum to carry safety communications; IPv6; or Satellite Communication (SATCOM).
