ASI Entertainment have just filed an international patent to cover their SafeCell concept for in-flight phone calling.

The SafeCell invention incorporates two unique components. A small device called a “communicator” that turns a cellular phone into a WiFi communicator, and a shielding accessory that allows the cellular phone to be switched on in-flight.

SafeCell was originally designed for use in passenger aircraft as a means of accessing low cost voice and data services via WiFi, using a cell phone. One of its unique features is that it can also be used at any WiFi hotspot on the ground, so a passenger subscribing to the in-flight service can also use remaining credit on the ground or vice versa.

According to the company, a SafeCell system starts at $10,000 per aircraft, SMS will cost 25 cents. The system can also accommodate VoiP and will be less than $1.00 per minute.
