With the recent string of terrorist threats and attacks over the last decade, starting with the tragic evens of September 11, 2001, we have all wanted a way to feel a little safer in the skies. Well now, thanks to the crew of InFlight Labs, LLC, we may just have our safety and sense of security back in  our hands.

InFlight Labs, LLC, announced that it is taking a huge step in airplane security: they have announced that they’re adding the first in-flight monitoring system with 2-way audio and video streaming to the ground control crew. "The new product, InFlight 911 Recorder™ is a major step forward in passenger safety, counterterrorism and aviation security," said Jay Bekanich, spokesperson for InFlight Labs.

Thanks to the help of Wi-Fi providers on planes, the new InFlight 911 Recorder™ will not only record 2-way audio and video, but it only also stream the data to ground control, Air Traffic Management, and other government agencies. With this new innovation, all responders will be able to see and exactly what is going on inside of a plane during a crisis, including events such as hijacking and equipment failure. This system of monitoring in-flight airplane activity will give responders much more information to go on than what was available previously, allowing for greater response time and appropriate reactivity.

"We will use Class 1 FAA Devices (iPad/Electronic Flight Bags), tablet PCs and even smartphones to offer 'Aircraft-Wide' audio and video 'Air-to-Ground' Communication during an in-air emergency. With one touch, captured video recorded with the InFlight 911 Recorder™ can simultaneously redistributed to numerous FAA, DHS and related government agencies for 'shared situational awareness' to bring numerous key resources together within minutes of an in-air emergency," states Jay Bekanich, spokesperson for InFlight Labs.

With this latest advancement towards the future of our security, we can all rest a little easier when we get on board a plane. It is imperative that we have our sense of security in tact wherever we go, especially when we travel. Now, first responders will have access to much more information than what was previously available, allowing them to respond accordingly. And with the two-way audio and video, communication between emergency crew and nervous passengers will be easier too.

"InFlight 911 Recorder™ combined other InFlight 911 Services' 2-way emergency products will bring critical communication assets together for today and next generation aviation security which will benefit everyone from passengers to airline staff and government officials," states Bekanich.
