GPRS

10/02/2006 5:14 AM

Hi. I am Simone. I need to know if I can use a GPRS link between an helicopter and a service center, because I don't know what is the amplitude of GPRS-signal at high altitude. I need to know the maximum altitude that a GPRS-signal can reach. Thanks.

I think that is a cell phone?

In the US The FCC and the FAA forbid the use of cell phones on any airbourn aircraft. Thatis, it is against the law.

The only exception would be an emergency.

private planes and helicopters make their own rules. scheduled planes do not allow cell phones to force you to use their costlt in flight phone service.

There is no evidence that cell phones casue problems with planes, just with their profits and there is a large movement to get it legalized.

look here for data on gprs etc.
