How It Works
Learn All About the Advantages that Our System Concepts Have to Offer
Spot beam technology
Satellite spot beams provide the high capacity necessary for personal travel passengers to access Netflix and business passengers to access their company networks.
System designs to minimize space and ground segment costs
Wi-Fi connects user devices to satellite terminals on-board the aircraft.
Satellites relay signals from/to Internet Gateways to/from aircraft terminals.
The right satellite, ground, and terminal technologies are chosen to minimize CAPEX and OPEX.
Data Rate for Streaming Video
Use In-Flight Internet the way you use the Internet on the ground
Mobile video accounts for 80% of all mobile Internet traffic.
In-flight Wi-Fi systems, which do not permit passengers to use most popular apps (streaming video), will receive tepid ratings.
Current generation video CODECs can deliver streaming video at data rates under 1 Mbps.
Airplanes with sufficient capacity can provide streaming video for all passengers.
System capacity tailored to match passenger demand
High capacity where lots of planes fly.
Lower capacity where fewer planes fly.
