Airline Wi-Fi is about to get faster

Apr 13, 2016 10:17 pm
NBC News reports that there's Wi-Fi on more than one-third of available flights worldwide, with around 60 airlines offering the service. But only six percent of flights have Wi-Fi as strong as home broadband service. So now users pay a lot for not much service. That's about to change. Inmarsat's Global Express network for aviation now has three satellites in service, and U.S.-based rival Viasat is launching two high-powered satellites that it says will significantly improve broadband speeds next year. After American Airlines threatened to switch to Viaset, it's company Gogo signed a deal with satellite operator SES to provide extra capacity. See the full story at NBC News.
