1. A system configured to enable wireless communication between a ground intercom of an aircraft and at least one external system, the system comprising:
a) an access door of a ground intercom access compartment of the aircraft, the access door configured to be fixed to the ground intercom access compartment;
b) a wireless ground intercom communication processing circuitry comprised in the access door; and
c) at least one antenna comprised in the access door, operatively coupled to the wireless ground intercom communication processing circuitry;
wherein the ground intercom access compartment comprising a ground intercom access panel, the ground intercom access panel comprising at least one socket;
wherein the wireless ground intercom communication processing circuitry is operatively connectable to the ground intercom of the aircraft via the ground intercom access panel, wherein the connecting of the wireless ground intercom communication processing circuitry to the ground intercom access panel is via at least one plug connected to the wireless ground intercom communication processing circuitry and configured to be plugged into the at least one socket of the ground intercom access panel, thereby enabling retrofit of a communication system on an aircraft;
wherein the wireless ground intercom communications processing circuitry is configured to selectively provide wireless communication, via the at least one antenna, between the ground intercom of the aircraft and the at least one external system.
