CLEARWATER, Fla. (Oct. 25, 2004) -- SkyWay Communications Holding Corp (OTC BB:
SWYC.OB - News) today announced the receipt of FAA Supplemental Type
Certification (STC) for the SkyWay Media Server and the SkyWay Entertainment
Server. With this certification, SkyWay now possesses exclusive rights to
manufacture, install, upgrade and repair the company's servers.
According to Brent Kovar, President of SkyWay Communications Holding Corp., "The
certification of SkyWay's servers is a significant step as we begin the process
of installing and supporting our first customers. In addition to marketing our
enabling In-Flight Broadband Communications (IBC) services, SkyWay now has FAA
certification to manufacture and install two state-of-the-art products. The
SkyWay servers will significantly improve each passenger's in-flight
experience."
The SkyWay Media Server is capable of playing infomercials and advertising. It
will store and play the paid, destination-based infomercials and advertising
that will create additional revenue for both SkyWay and the airlines that choose
to become SkyWay customers.
The SkyWay Media Server also stores and plays the "moving map," which visually
shows the passengers the location of the aircraft at any given time. The maps
feature natural, three dimensional shading, spherical global views for tracking
international flights and LANDSAT views from space of major metropolitan areas.
In addition, the SkyWay Media Server controls the HydraTrac, a self-contained
drive mechanism that silently controls the drop down and retraction of the
monitors located under the overhead bins.
The SkyWay Entertainment Server has a large storage capacity as well as the
capability to continually play revenue generating, on-demand audio and video for
airline passengers.
Jim Kent, CEO of Skyway Communications Holding Corp. added, "This certification
is one of the final pieces of our airborne equipment system. We are currently on
schedule for FAA certification of the remaining ATG equipment."
