ADVANCED CONNECTIVITY FOR AIR AND MARITIME
Eutelsat's mobility services complement terrestrial cellular networks across a range of sectors.
We deliver global solutions and coverage for the maritime world to a diverse group of markets that includes commercial shipping, sea-based oil and gas operations, governmental ships and luxury vessels.
For in-flight broadband services, Eutelsat's Air solutions allow airlines to offer passengers top-quality Internet access, videostreaming and GSM services via tablets, smartphones and laptops throughout Europe. Busy Asian and trans-Pacific flight paths can benefit from an innovative High Throughput Ku-band payload on the EUTELSAT 172B satellite which has been specifically designed for in-flight broadband.
AIR
Inflight connectivity services for smart, highly-connected planes
Airlines are leveraging connectivity through passenger mobile apps and devices to increase brand engagement and provide a seamless on-line experience from home to airport, boarding and inflight to destination.
Over the next decade, the number of commercial aircraft equipped with a mobile Wi-Fi service is projected to grow nearly tenfold as more airlines provide satellite-based Wi-Fi connectivity to both cabin and cockpit (source Northern Sky Research).
Satellites are the key technology to unlock the potential of inflight connectivity, with multiple spotbeam architecture and high frequency reuse of High Throughput Satellites and payloads.
Eutelsat already serves inflight connectivity and live TV markets through satellites, from 117° West to 172° East: EUTELSAT 117 West A, 115 West B, 3B, 10A, 70B and 172B.
SOLUTION
Air Access
Air Access is designed to accelerate the deployment of in-flight connectivity for airline passengers in Europe. The mobile service uses ViaSat SurfBeam® 2 technology and is deployed on the KA-SAT high throughput satellite.
Leveraging the high transmission speeds and bandwidth of KA-SAT, Air Access allows aeronautical service providers to offer passengers top-quality Internet access, videostreaming and GSM services via tablets, smartphones and laptops.
SOLUTION
Innovative HTS Satellite for Asia-Pacific
An innovative High Throughput Ku-band payload on the EUTELSAT 172B satellite has been designed for in-flight broadband with multiple user spots optimised to serve busy Asian and trans-Pacific flight paths.
Panasonic Avionics Corporation and UnicomAirNet have selected the EUTELSAT 172B satellite as their platform for trans-Pacific and Asian in-flight broadband and live TV services for commercial airlines.
